“You guys really do not know what you want to talk about anymore. When you speak about people, you speak about things I do not understand. One moment, you say I'm pregnant, and the next, RIP, you say I passed away. Now you have a problem with me shopping at Shoprite. Is there anything wrong with shopping at Shoprite?" she asked.
Linda Sebezo said social media bullying has gone too far and that people should stop it because they will talk when artists ask for help. He also asked people to let her be.
“No, you guys are taking it too far. Social media, you are bullying us. Then you guys will say we talk too much. I have a family. I don't go to bed hungry; I eat every day. Now, you are taking it too far. We have children, they get affected by the things you say. I live in Soweto. Leave me alone.”
