"He may have made a not so clever decision but I don’t find joy in someone’s downfall. Life can be unpredictable in this showbiz industry."

@stallionheat mentioned:

"This was inevitable. He should have left a long time ago or tried to downgrade his lifestyle. R40K per month is enough to enable you to buy a proper house."

@eliotchauke1 asked:

"Why did he not buy a house?"

@Melusi_Mokone tweeted:

"40K x 12 = 480 000. Nithi how long was he renting there?"

@SchoolsinNaija stated:

"Most celebrities/public figures are actually living fake life."
