The first comments shared how influential the Mihlali N creator is, with social media users stating how anytime she posts anything, her name automatically trends. One such comment said, “Mihlali is that pretty lady who trends for breathing. She trends for putting her hand on her stomach. She trends for basically anything. She’s the girl.” Another follower that agreed, stated, “Mihlali uploaded today [her latest make up tutorial and review video on YouTube] and had to get all of you talking. Makes sense.”
Comments from most social media users were more concerned about who could have fathered the supposed child. One social media user wrote, in part, “I don’t think I’m coping guys.” Another male comment said, “If Mihlali is really pregnant guys please bring me the guy who got her pregnant, I just want to talk to him.”
Other social media users who were adamant that she was not pregnant justified their belief by explaining that she was on contraceptives. One social media user said, “But Mihlali had a five-year implant earlier this year, how is she pregnant?” Another social media user who follows Mihlali also reaffirmed that, “Mihlali was preaching about the Mirena a few days ago. Nope, not pregnant.”
