“The mighty has fallen” – Mixed reactions as Instagram big boy turns cab driver

An Instagram big boy identified as Nico Matlala has caused a stir online among fans after being spotted as a cab driver. 

Due to his transition from flamboyance to an ordinary existence, South African Instagram star Nico Matlala has raised many doubts among social media users.

It’s unclear whether the Big Boy, who is well-known for flaunting his money online, made the decision to work as a ride-hailing driver in South Africa on purpose or as a result of financial difficulties.

Using the microblogging site, a Twitter user disclosed that she had ordered an Uber, but Matlala accepted the ride.
