Public Divides Over Cyan Boujee’s School Appearance and Twerking Antics

South African YouTuber, DJ, and social media influencer Cyan Boujee once again hits the trending waves, stirring up a mélange of reactions with a recent video that has made its rounds on social media platforms. Known for her regular appearances in the spotlight, Cyan Boujee's latest act involves motivating school children—a move that has left the public sharply divided.

The video clip in question captures Cyan Boujee addressing a young audience, promptly following her speech with a demonstration of twerking, a dance move with sexual connotations. This juxtaposition of motivational speaking and provocative dancing has sparked an online debate regarding the appropriateness of influencers in educational settings and their influence on young minds.

Critics are raising their eyebrows at the selection of Boujee as a role model due in part to her social media persona and her prior record, including assault cases. A faction of Twitter users is questioning the rationale behind inviting someone with Boujee’s background to perform and speak to school-aged children, discomforted by the notion that notoriety and physical appearance might supplant traditional virtues in the criteria for role models. “Anyone with a BBL is a role model these days,” one tweet reads, expressing dismay at current standards for who is put in front of the youth for inspiration.

Meanwhile, some individuals stand on the side of Cyan Boujee, arguing that her success as an entertainer and digital influencer speaks volumes about her potential to inspire. They highlight her persistence and career growth despite past controversies and severed professional relationships.

The debate taps into the larger societal discourse on the evolution of role model status in the age of social media. In the digital era, visibility and influence seem to have adjusted the threshold for becoming a public figure who can command the attention of the young and impressionable.

South Africa, like many other societies, grapples with the task of identifying individuals capable of guiding the next generation towards constructive and wholesome futures. The critique extends beyond Cyan Boujee, as some commenters use the situation as a springboard to lament the scarcity of quality role models, particularly for young girls.

The conversation is as much about Cyan's acts as it is about societal values and the need for appropriate mentorship. The inherent question that arises is how society defines a role model and what behaviors and achievements should elevate an individual to that status.

Cyber commentaries also touch on personal aspects of Boujee's life, with mentions of her family and the personal support system—or lack thereof—that might be influencing her actions. Though speculative, these comments reflect a collective concern over the wellbeing of influencers and the pressures they face in the public eye.

Regardless of the stance one takes, Cyan Boujee’s school visit has undeniably opened a can of worms, instigating conversations about the impact of pop culture on young minds and the ongoing redefinition of public figures as pillars for the youth to look up to.
