Cyan Boujee, Inno Morolong & Mr JazziQ Star in Explosive New Showmax Docuseries ‘Slay Queens’ — Mzansi Can’t Stop Talking!

On Monday, 6 October 2025, Showmax announced an upcoming five-part documentary series titled Slay Queens, set to premiere on 31 October 2025.

The streaming giant dropped a teaser trailer giving viewers a glimpse into the glitzy — and often controversial — world of South Africa’s slay queens. In the trailer, Amapiano star Mr JazziQ opens up about his encounters with slay queens, while Inno Morolong candidly explains how many of them attract wealthy men and turn luxury lifestyles into business ventures.

The announcement immediately sparked mixed reactions on social media, with fans debating the message behind the show. Some praised the bold storytelling, while others criticized it for glamorizing materialism. Even Inno Morolong’s close friend couldn’t resist weighing in with her thoughts in the comments section.

As the countdown to the premiere begins, all eyes are on Showmax to see whether Slay Queens will expose the truth behind the social media glamour — or celebrate it.

South African producer Mr JazziQ, social media influencer and DJ Cyan Boujee, and reality TV star Inno Morolong are set to star in a new five-part documentary series on Showmax. The announcement of the docuseries was met with disapproval online.

Cyan Boujee, who topped headlines after promoting a controversial Russian work-study opportunity, has added a feather in her cap after being announced as part of the cast in a five-part documentary series on Showmax. Controversial reality TV star Inno Morolong and Amapiano producer and DJ Mr JazziQ will also form part of the cast of the new documentary series.

The show’s announcement was largely met with mixed reactions online.

Mr JazziQ discusses his experience with slay queens

On Monday, 6 October 2025, Showmax announced on Instagram that the five-part documentary Slay Queens will premiere on 31 October, with new episodes dropping every Friday on the streaming platform. The post was captioned:

“The untold story of South Africa’s slay queens. A 5-part documentary that goes beyond the glam and explores the ambition, risk, and reality behind the lifestyle. 🤑💰 #SlayQueensShowmax”

The trailer shared by Showmax on Instagram shows Cyan Boujee, who once admitted to smashing for cash, differentiating between a slay queen and a baddie.

“The difference between a slay queen and a baddie. Slay queens are straight to the point,” Cyan Boujee says in the teaser trailer.
In the teaser trailer, Mr JazziQ shares his experience with slay queens. He said:

“You want to sit with me, sit. That’s a price. And also, if you’re going to take me home with you tonight, that’s also another price,” he shared.
Inno Morolong discloses how slay queens land rich men
In the video, Inno Morolong, who has been accused of trafficking young girls into adult entertainment, also shared how slay queens manage to get rich men. Inno Morolong explained:

“These other slay queens who don’t even have a job, but they’ll wake up and wear a suit, act like they’re in a meeting, and they meet the rich men,” Inno shared.

Further in the trailer, Inno claimed that not everyone who is a slay queen sleeps with men to get money.

“Not everybody in the slay queen, whatever, is using their private parts,” she suggested.

Apart from Cyan Boujee, Mr JazziQ, and Inno Morolong, author and media personality Jackie Phamotse also shares her lived experience as a self-proclaimed former slay queen.

In the video, two sangomas shared that slay queens use their services for protection and to bewitch rich men. Another revealed that some rich men also engage with slay queens for rituals.

A slay queen tearfully recounted a harrowing incident in which she blacked out for at least two days in the company of a rich man.
