Ommy Dimpoz: Tanzanian singer nearly faints after huge snake is placed on his shoulders
By Steve Ireri, September 26, 2026Tanzanian singer Ommy Dimpoz was left terrified after a huge cobra was placed on his shoulders during a visit to a recreation park, with the artiste screaming and crouching in fear as the reptile remained on his body.
The frightening incident happened on Friday, September 25, 2026, when Dimpoz visited the recreation park where visitors were being challenged to test their courage by allowing a huge snake to be placed around their shoulders.
A video from the park captured the moment the snake handlers placed the massive cobra on Dimpoz, turning what appeared to be a fun experience into a terrifying ordeal for the singer.
As soon as the reptile settled on his shoulders, Dimpoz began shouting in fear, appearing overwhelmed by the sight and weight of the huge snake resting on his body.
The singer could be seen crouching as though he was about to collapse, with his body language showing just how frightened he had become.
Dimpoz continued making high-pitched shrills and frantic sounds as he struggled to remain upright while the cobra remained draped around his shoulders.
The situation became even more dramatic as the snake was not immediately removed, leaving the singer to crouch further and react with more desperate cries.
Those who had placed the reptile on him appeared amused by his reaction, with some laughing as Dimpoz continued to panic and struggle to keep his composure.
The singer’s attempts to escape the situation only added to the drama, as he repeatedly bent down while making distressed sounds in the presence of the handlers and other visitors.
The huge cobra remained on his shoulders for several moments before the handlers eventually removed it, bringing the frightening encounter to an end.
Dimpoz appeared visibly shaken throughout the experience, with his reaction providing a striking contrast to the other visitors who had willingly taken part in the courage-testing activity.
The recreation park appears to offer visitors the chance to interact with large reptiles as part of its entertainment activities, with the snakes being placed on people’s shoulders for photographs, fun and to test their courage.
However, Dimpoz’s encounter quickly turned into a moment of panic after the singer struggled to cope with the presence of the massive cobra around his neck and shoulders.
