A man’s brutally honest confession about his ex-girlfriend’s glow-up has sent the internet into a frenzy, and honestly, it’s not hard to see why.
The video, posted on Tuesday, September 22, shows the Mzungu man, Lennon Edward Richardson, filming himself inside his van in a candid, self-deprecating clip that has since racked up significant attention online.
What did Mzungu say about Miss Tanzania finalist?
Intercut with screen recordings of his ex’s Instagram Stories, the footage reveals the woman is currently a finalist for Miss Tanzania, with ties to the Miss Universe pageant circuit.
The man wasted no time setting the scene.
“My ex is currently a finalist for Miss Tanzania, and I live in my van,” he admitted plainly, before adding with a laugh, “And it’s kind of messing with me.”
He was quick to clarify that his feelings were not entirely bitter.
Between scrolling through her posts and visibly impressed reactions, he said he was genuinely proud of how far she had come.
“I still have love for her, even though our relationship was incompatible,” he said, before acknowledging that watching her success had forced him into some uncomfortable reflection.
The situation clearly stirred up a mix of emotions. He spoke about riding the highs and lows of a life that had “fallen apart,” and admitted to slipping into “what if” mode while watching her stories.
Still, the man managed to find a silver lining.
“It’s pretty cool,” he said. “I dated the younger version of a Miss Tanzania finalist.”
The comment section quickly filled up with people who found the whole situation equal parts funny and painfully familiar.
