According to Chris Excel’s Twitter biography, he is the “only legal catfish” in Mzansi.
Chris Excel does not use his real name nor does he use a real photo on his Twitter account. If you’re wondering who the woman in his profile picture is, it’s influencer and student Bianca Coster. The UJ student claims she is aware that Chris Excel is using her picture in his Twitter profile, but that she has tried “unsuccessfully” to report him to the site’s authorities.
Bianca said in an Instagram Q& A: “Honestly, I just ignore it now. In the beginning, it really upset me because a lot of people were asking about it and genuinely thought it was me.
“I’ve tried to report the account countless times to no avail. So I’m going to let bygones be bygones”.
He loves a good celebrity feud
Chris Excel has gone up against the biggest celebs in Mzansi including Bonang, Pearl Thusi, Cassper Nyovest and AKA.
Most recently he got into a Twitter spat with One South Africa Movement leader Mmusi Maimane and even dragged US singer Ari Lennox over her comments about MacG.

With “fame” comes criticism, and while Chris Excel represents the “underdog,” he is also regarded as a cyber bully.
Chris was recently criticized for “contributing” to the social media storm that allegedly drove veteran actor Patrick Shai into killing himself in January 2022.
Bab' Patrick Shai should've asked money nicely to Cassper Nyovest
