According to City Press, Unathi was shown the door by the radio station after she allegedly had a verbal fight with Sizwe Dhlomo. Since then, the two have been throwing shade at each other, with Unathi claiming she couldn't directly address the matter because Kaya 959 silenced her.

However, it seems like a year after the drama, she found her voice to speak out as she bared it all with her former Idols SA colleague Gareth Cliff on Uncancelled.

Nkayi continued by saying they levelled accusations against each other, but their arguments never included any acts of violence between the two parties, as reported by ZAlebs.

“For the record, Sizwe and I both submitted in writing allegations against each other. Some founded and some were found not to be, from both of us. I have handed the matter against Kaya to handle legally."

Unathi stated that her father advised her not to drag the radio stations' management before the magistrate until they turned on each other.

"My dad was like you are not going to touch them for at least a year. So I am like why? He is like, they are going to turn on each other. So when they fired Sibongile, my dad said 'now you can go' [laughs]"
