The woman claims that she had to pay a lawyer to get the recording removed.
“uDJ Sbu did not inform me that he’s recording me, and he put that voice note without my consent. I paid a lawyer five thousand to have that recording removed,” the woman said.
The woman revealed that she wasn’t done with DJ Sbu as she intended to file a lawsuit against him. She said a lawyer had offered to take the case for free. She said:
“It’s against the law, and I’m still going to file a lawsuit for that. I got a lawyer who’s gonna do it pro bono for me. I’m gonna file a lawsuit. How does he record a call and doesn’t tell me that this call is being recorded, and he shares it on his network because he wants likes and monies and what.”
The woman went on to insult DJ Sbu and even declared that she hated him over the incident and doesn’t want to be interviewed by him ever again.

“She won’t win the case. The recorded call was not DJ Sbu recording two individuals talking in private, but he too was part of the conversation.”
@Lomjitha_wePOLO argued:
“It’s not illegal for a person to record a conversation they are part of between 2 parties.”
@Luvuyo6lack said:
“Mofaya money will solve that problem.”
