The star broke her silence as she went on a rant on her Twitter (X) page explaining how her former employer denied her from voting, mentioning that she was not on the list of registered voters at the embassy.

In the video, Fikz said:

"You told me I was registered… why am I not on the list? I find the Embassy’s actions as gross injustice. It is also personal because the Embassy fired me three and a half years ago. Therefore, I feel that I am being sabotaged personally. The Embassy has never made any effort to find out what the problem was."
