South African Amapiano producer and DJ Mr JazziQ is stepping into a new spotlight — not behind the decks this time, but on screen. The hitmaker is one of the featured stars in Showmax’s brand-new five-part docuseries titled Slay Queens, which is set to premiere on 31 October 2025.
Showmax made the official announcement on Monday, 6 October 2025, unveiling a teaser trailer that immediately stirred up conversation across social media. The streaming platform described the series as “the untold story of South Africa’s slay queens — a five-part documentary that goes beyond the glam and explores the ambition, risk, and reality behind the lifestyle.”
Alongside Mr JazziQ, the series will also feature DJ and influencer Cyan Boujee as well as reality TV star Inno Morolong, both of whom are known for their strong personalities and social media presence. The show promises to unpack the truth behind the so-called “slay queen” phenomenon — a culture often associated with luxury, relationships with wealthy men, and the pursuit of fame and influence.
In the teaser, Mr JazziQ candidly shares his experiences and observations about slay queens and the dynamics surrounding their relationships. He says, “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.” His bold statements quickly caught the attention of viewers online, sparking debate about the reality of the lifestyle and its moral complexities.
Inno Morolong, another key figure in the documentary, also opens up about how slay queens attract rich men and make money, shedding light on the behind-the-scenes realities that often go unnoticed. The inclusion of such voices has made Slay Queens one of the most anticipated — and controversial — upcoming Showmax releases.
While many have expressed excitement for the series’ raw honesty, others have criticized it for potentially glorifying materialism and toxic social dynamics. Regardless of the mixed reactions, one thing is clear — Slay Queens is set to ignite important conversations about gender, power, and the social pressures of modern-day success.
With Mr JazziQ’s charisma and real-world insight, the docuseries promises to be both entertaining and thought-provoking, offering viewers a deeper look into a lifestyle that continues to shape South Africa’s pop culture narrative.
