R'n'b star Jason Derulo has come under fire after asking South Africans if they could speak English while performing in Johannsberg. The 26-year-old singer made the remark during his set at ANN7’s South African of the Year awards when he asked the audience: “Y'all speak English, right?”
Unimpressed South Africans who had tuned into the ceremony which was billed as “the most prestigious awards show in the country”, quickly took to social media to vent their outrage, blasting him for his music and daft remark.
One user was so angry she suggested the Whatcha Say hitmaker return to the US sharpish: “Jason Derulo needs to leave our country right now. How dare he?”
