• Mihlali Ndamse has issued an apology to the queer community following her recent comments on social media
• The YouTube influencer's regret stems from her and her ex-boyfriend Leeroy Sidambe's ugly public break-up
• Notably, Ndamase alluded to Sidambe as being a member of the queer community in derogatory terms

Influencer Mihlali Ndamase's recent comments about her ex-boyfriend Leeroy Sidambe earned her a one-way ticket to a barrage of criticism.
