Danny K claps back at public concerns about his appearance

After a long hiatus the RnB singing sensation Danny K, real name Daniel Koppel has made a long-awaited return to social media – and while many were happy to hear from the singer, dozens of people were shocked by his recent appearance. 

Over the weekend the Hurt So Bad singer shared a video in which he poked some fun at South African comedian Schalk Bezuidenhoud after the latter’s picture was spotted hanging on the wall in the corridors of the Oyster Box hotel where Danny spent the weekend.

With the SAMA award-winning singer posting his clip on nearly every social media platform, those following him on TikTok especially expressed their concerns. 

“Danny K from Temu? Is that you?” asked one user, while others shared that they were extremely shocked to see him looking completely different from what many of his fans remember. 

Many also believed that he may have gotten a Botox treatment done. 

After all the unwanted attention came his way, the 47-year-old took to the platform to share yet another video in response to the recent comments. 

“So, an innocent video turned into this, a commentary on my appearance, accusing me of the biggest BS of Botox and plastic surgery. All of which, if I did have, who the bloody hell cares?” 

“I’m turning 47 this year, and I feel good about myself, and so should you.” 

He further encouraged his followers to not pay much attention to what people say whether good or bad. 

“The trolls of the internet have nothing better to do; they’re spreading venom. Feel good about yourself and spread positivity in the world”.
