"I just gave MK free airtime so the public could learn about them. Now you ungrateful bastards are bitter because truth is….that thing is dead now.

"Oh and no, I am not MAYIBUYE. So my lady, I know I have a lot of power and it irritates you when I am not on your side, but pls stop using my name to chase clout with your lies. You’re damaging my brand."
