“Shame nana, you’re still growing up. Don't do that to the legends. You still have a long way, and you’ll need their guidance. You have a long ladder to climb; make sure you don't fall.”

@SammKay claimed:

“Cici threw you under the bus shame, the video that she posted 🚮🚮 I’d be afraid of her if I were you 🤞”

@vesterrejoice asked:

“Don't try us and mizz our legend. Is it your way of apologising?”

“They want you to bow to others. Sick if you ask me. Giving judgments based on a short video🙄”

@Girlgirl_64 suggested:

“Your energy is a little off. You give Scotts Maphuma vibes🙄”

@RichCA77 advised:

“Humility will take you far, we ngane. But right now, your stinking attitude will be your downfall. There are many who were more talented than you who had your stinking attitude; their journeys were not nice.”
