South African footballer tells fans to stop calling him Beyonce

JOE

An unusual nickname has left one South African footballer ‘looking so crazy right now’…

Reneilwe Letsholonyane, who ironically plays forĀ another musically named club in theĀ Kaizer Chiefs, is known asĀ ‘Beyonce’ by his team’s supporters..

The midfielder, who played for his country at the 2010 World Cup, is unaware of the origins of the nickname but said on a TV appearance “I wish they would stop calling me that.”

Fans ought to have realised he didn’t like the nickname when he didn’t put a ring on it.
