She’s just living true to her name!
Johannesburg, South Africa (18 September 2025) – When Diva’s parents took her out for a meal at the Fireroom, they did not expect a full-on performance, but they got one.
The little girl who had never seen a flambé in action before was properly taken aback when their waiter gave them a show at their table.
Her reaction to seeing flames on a plate is priceless and so dramatic. We love it.
No reassurance could calm her, not even the strong words of her dad.
“Calm down, daddy is here who will kill you?”
The now-viral video has clocked over 8.6 million views within two days and for good reason. Everybody is floored over Diva’s performance. Her facial expressions, her over-the-top-ness, and her parents’ giggling makes it one of those viral South African gems.
Some commenters urged Diva’s folks to get her to acting classes immediately, others pointed out her wisdom in knowing not to play with fire. Some cheekily pointed out that the apple does not fall far from the tree.
We wonder – is it mom or dad who passed down the drama? Either way, keep it up. Life is too short not to live it loud, and cautious of fire!
