SEE: Comedian Tats Nkonzo’s naked pic sets tongues wagging

He had his followers excited when he posted a photo of himself naked, with some suggesting he goes the OnlyFans route.


Captioned with what seems like a Seth Godin quote from his 2020 self-help book The Practice, Nkonzo showed his backside in the shot that has had a number of his followers wondering whether the comedian is going the OnlyFans route or preparing for an upcoming project.

“Discomfort engages people. Choosing to offer only comfort undermines the work of the artist and the leader. Our practice is to bring practical empathy to the work, to realise that in our journey to create change, we’re also creating discomfort. For our audience. And for ourselves,” wrote Nkonzo.

Reactions to Tats Nkonzo’s nude

Actress Ziyanda Yako jokingly advised Nkonzo to start his OnlyFans page. “Qala i Only fans page kubekanye! (Start an OnlyFans page once and for all)” said the actress. While another user, @capella.deva encouraged the nudity but perhaps suggested Nkonzo goes outside to feel the breeze saying: “Stretching outside the zone is so important for our healing too.” @Boitumelo Busisiwe Dikgale confessed that she had to zoom-into the photo of the naked comedian.

How Nkonzo found comedy

Nkonzo has been sharing videos of his two sons learning instruments and having fun in studio and at home.

In one post he shared that he only found stand-up comedy at the age of 23.

“I only found stand-up comedy at the age of 23. I tell my kids that Daddy only knew what he wanted to do with his life when he was 23. I tell them so they are free from the ‘What do you want to be when you grow up’ question that some of us are still trying to figure out. A question most of us still asks ourselves today. Mostly, I tell them so they know that not knowing is absolutely part of it all,” said Nkonzo in a touching post.
