An Australian DJ has gone viral for all the wrong reasons after videos emerged of him pulling some ‘cringeworthy’ dance moves.
DJ Levi, whose real name is Levi Neufeld, boasts a combined 2.2million followers on Instagram and TikTok and an impressive 3million monthly listeners on Spotify.
However, the Afro-house DJ has recently been trending for a very different reason — a video of his Düsseldorf performance that went viral.
In the clip, Levi pulls a series of bizarre facial expressions at the decks, flashing a maniacal grin and sticking out his tongue.
The clip was quickly picked up by social media jokesters, who wasted no time in mercilessly mocking the Sydney DJ.
Spanish EDM station FlaixFM joined the pile-on, posting a clip of one of its DJs delivering an over-the-top impression of Levi.

Dutch musician Pieter Valley also shared a clip that showed him at his decks, comically aping the DJ.
The mockery didn’t stop there — other accounts began posting exaggerated caricatures of Levi.
One account, Lemme Draw You, appeared especially amused by Levi’s antics, sharing a series of humorous illustrations of him in different stage scenarios.
‘I love how much you love to hate this guy,’ one follower commented, while another chimed in with: ‘You making fun of him is the only thing I know him for.’
‘This is art. I’ve not seen art in so long. But this is art,’ a third declared while another offered Levi a potential nickname: ‘DJ Cringe is the best, ever.’
With numerous accounts from across the globe poking fun at the beleaguered DJ, the comments kept flooding in.
One user even suggested that: ‘He has embarrassed all of Australia.’
Another summed up the sentiment of many of the trolls with: ‘I love that the whole internet decided to hate on this guy.’

Levi’s own Instagram hasn’t escaped the relentless jibes either.
His latest post — a carousel of images from Miami, Florida — has also been inundated with remarks about his ‘tongue moves’.
But not all the comments were harsh — some fans rushed to defend Levi.
‘People are just jealous of what you have brother. Don’t let the internet ruin you,’ one fan offered.
‘You got this. This is just the downside of fame but f the haters.’
Another chimed in with an encouraging: ‘Funny how some guys are soo jealous of him being a hot DJ. He’s the best.’
Levi, who is also a model, got his start in reality television as a ‘door pusher’ on The Voice.
Back in 2018, he even told Daily Mail that he was keen on taking a then single Delta Goodrem ‘out for a drink’.
Levi’s own Instagram has not been immune from the seemingly ceaseless jibes either
But not all the comments were harsh — some fans rushed to defend the musician
‘I find Delta extremely, extremely attractive. She’s amazing,’ Levi said at the time.
‘I personally prefer sitting on a balcony, getting a bottle of red wine, some cheese crackers and hors d’oeuvres and watching the sunset,’ he said.
‘We would have some acoustic music playing in the background and just talk about life.’
Levi popped up again in 2022, as the fan-favourite best friend of Married At First Sight groom Brent Vitiello.
When Brent’s bride branded him ‘average’ at their wedding in the premiere episode, Levi was quick to leap to his mate’s defence, causing many fans to gush over the wingman.
‘I’d marry this Levi guy. He’s a keeper,’ one wrote, along with one who said, ‘Can I just say I’ve got a crush on Levi?’
Another described him as their ‘favourite person ever’, while one suggested he ‘needs his own show’.
