Choreographer and dancer Slenda Da Dancing DJ and Thuli Phongolo, who make DJ duo 2Faced, are said to have fallen off and parted ways- barely a year into their collaboration.
GOING SEPARATE WAYS
A close friend in their team revealed to ZiMoja that the two clashed a few months ago. "They started having small arguments about bookings, choreography, and their times not aligning,' the source said. "Thuli somehow felt like she was responsible for Slenda's fame, but she has been a dancer for a long time and is doing well at Afrotainment,' added the source. The friend said Slenda has been doing most of the choreographies and is also said to be a better DJ. "She works really hard and there was always just so much drama with Thuli and her relationship issues. Slenda is tired of Thuli's dramatic antics and she thought it would work out but...,' the friends added.
THE COLLABORATION
Slenda has since been taking solo bookings. "She's moving on; she won't wait for Thuli and her mood swings.' The friend reveals that the two ladies have not been on speaking terms for a few weeks now and want to make the split official. "Slenda has been taking solo bookings anyway; I think that says it all.'
Thuli and Slenda announced their duo, 2Faced, collaboration in October 2023. 2Faced brought together two distinct musical genres, Amapiano and Gqom, Thuli did not wish to address the matter; however, Slenda confirmed she has been taking bookings as a solo DJ. "I won't get into 2Faced, but I have been taking solo gigs and Thuli has been doing the same. She is my sister; there's no beef,' she said.
