It’s worth noting that this isn’t the first time South Africans have been thrust into the spotlight for cultural clashes with Americans. Remember Tyla? When she refused to conform to American beauty standards at the VMAs, it sparked a heated debate. Some Americans labeled her as "entitled" or "uppity," but many back home saw her as a symbol of pride and authenticity. Fortune’s dance challenge, however, seems to have struck a different chord—one of unity and understanding.
In the video, Fortune shared a heartfelt message about her experience, saying:
“I enjoyed doing this. Shout out to these cops; they were amazing.”
