Vin Diesel set up his brand new TikTok account and decided to make his first video one of him and friend Nifé dancing to Brenda Fassie’s Vuli Ndlela.

 

United States of America (30 October 2020) – Vin Diesel has been showing a different side to himself lately and it is so fun! The actor, famous for his roles in the Fast and Furious franchise as well as Riddick and as Groot in the Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy franchises, has been releasing his own music and dancing to music by none other than Brenda Fassie!

Yes, you read that correctly! Vin Diesel has got moves and he used them to dance to Vuli Ndlela by Brenda Fassie.

In a video shared on TikTok, the actor said he was feeling the SA vibes with his Nigerian sister Nifé who is from London. According to Nifé, they “both love this South African classic”.

Vin Diesel gave the back story about loving the song on his Instagram account saying that he was reflecting on his mother’s birthday recently and the time that it was celebrated in South Africa two years ago.

He explained how he was on set for his movie Bloodshot and was due to take his mother out for dinner but filming ran late and he only finished at 3 am. Feeling really upset and disappointed about missing his mother’s birthday, he walked onto the set the next day and the South African crew blasted Vuli Ndlela on the sound system.

Vin Diesel said the moment lifted his spirits and he has loved the song ever since then. That is why he thought it would be such a great first video to share on his new TikTok account.
