Khanyi told Pabi that she went through the pages that 15-year-old Khanukani follows and she was taken aback to find a page called 'Skinny Baddies'. After the discovery, Mbau made an effort to sit Khanz down for a chat. She told her daughter:

"My darling, baddies are not a real thing. You know, these baddies, after filters and everything, they probably don’t live the life that you live. You need to start following people that have a similar life that you have and things that you truly like so you need to change the people that you follow."

On the topic of body positivity, The Citizen reports that the celeb told Pabi that she had to figure out if Khanz' body issues stemmed from health concerns of personal goals. From there, she was able to curate the perfect conversation to have with the teen.
