Bujy Bikwa Nandos?
Something is always cooking in the world of entertainment, and at times it is not always for the right reasons, and in this case, it was definitely not for the tastiest. The international fast-food chain got into an online confrontation with Bujy, and well, Sthembinkosi got the short end of the stick. This came about after a campaign done by Nando’s that was labelled Boujee Bowl. Bikwa claimed that he deserved his dues from the fast-food chain for using his name; in a tweet, he posted an image and added the caption:
I’ve been Bujy stepping in the game since 2009 and @NandosSA comes with its Boujee Bowl as if the name is new… ???? Nandos must pay respect where it’s due… I honestly don’t understand how they can just get away with using my name and not pay respect!
However, the Nando’s fired back with a tweet:
O ntse o phela? [Are you still alive] But then again… If you lived up to your name, you would’ve had your own bowl.
There were no more confrontations online, but the users on Twitter added sarcastic comments while others were not sure what was going on.
