Speaking on a podcast interview with Lorenz Köhler, Reneilwe Letsholonyane's dislike for one of his nicknames has not waned one bit.

Yeye says no to Beyonce nickname, again!

Kaizer Chiefs legend Reneilwe "Yeye" Letsholonyane has once again distanced himself from the nickname "Beyonce". 

Letsholonyane nickname gained traction during the peak of his playing days at the Glamour Boys, with the former midfield general still unsure why people started naming him after the iconic pop star.

In his recent conversation with journalist Lorenz Köhler on 10Bet's "The Bettor Pod", Yeye was asked where the nickname came from, to which he answered: "I don't know and I don't want it."

Yeye had to ask fans as far back as 2015 to stop calling him Beyonce. In an interview on SABC 1's Zaziwa with host Pearl Modiadie, Yeye mentioned that he doesn't like the nickname and wishes people would stop using it. 

"Sometimes people think I'm rude because I don't respond when they call me 'Beyonce', I don't like that name and I wish they would stop using it', he said.

Even when asked about the name's origins, he responded: "I don't know why they call me that, I just don't like it," he said.
