Comedian and actor Primo Baloyi recently reacted to the controversial Russian programme, which influencer Cyan Boujee promoted on social media.

Baloyi previously trended on social media when he featured former Gomora and Generations actor Zolisa Xaluva in his skit.

The comedic influencer revealed on his Instagram account on Tuesday, 26 August 2025, that he declined the opportunity to promote the Russian programme on his social media because he knew it was shady.

Baloyi captioned his video: "When you knew that campaign you declined was shady. You guys would be dragging to Russia and back."
