Uncle Vinny Reveals The Dates For His Europe Tour. One thing Gen-Zs are known for is the hustle — and maximising their use of social media in ways that have proved lucrative. Someone who has been at the forefront of this phenomenon is none other than Kabelo Vincent Ndlovu, popularly known as Uncle Vinny.The 19-year-old has made a name for himself, mostly for his dancing prowess, inspiring the viral #UncleVinnyChallenge even famous faces such as rapper Riky Rick joined in: the Mali Eningi hitmaker posted a video to Instagram of himself, shirtless and sporting a red Balenciaga towel, as he gives the dance challenge his own interpretation. Simply put, Uncle Vinny is a mood and everyone wants a piece of him.
Vinny continues to break boundaries and make a mark globally. The star has announced his Europe Tour set to take place from this month on the 14th up until the 26th or October. The tar will show face in places like Paris, London, Germany and other famous cities.
The eldest of three kids, Uncle Vinny was born and bred in Hillbrow, Johannesburg, although his parents hail from Kwa-Zulu Natal’s south coast. “Growing up in Hillbrow was nice, but obviously when you are growing up as a kid you can’t see what’s happening in the hood. You think everything is peaceful, but as you grow up you realise: ‘This is not the life for me.’”
It was this realisation that inspired his hustle. A precocious kid, the teenager quickly learned how to be street smart while keeping himself out of trouble. Raised in a tough environment with rampant drug abuse, Uncle Vinny says growing up in Hillbrow taught him many lessons.“You have to focus to make your life better and remove your parents from that cycle of poverty. If you don’t work hard, there is nothing that is going to come to you. There is no life for you without hard work,” he said.
