The "Boss Zonke" rapper Riky Rick has mocked a young man's choice of sneakers in a Braamfontein retail store.
In a video that was recorded in the store, the rapper is seen targeting the boy because he allegedly wore fake Balenciaga shoes.
The entire store breaks into laughter as he orders the teen to remove the shoes immediately so they can be burnt.
