Social media weighs in

X (formerly Twitter) users didn't hold back, dishing reactions that ranged from savage shade to straight-up stan energy. @NomsaSima quipped, nailing the vibe of Mondlana, who was accused of charging attendees for alcohol at her party, seizing her own bash:

"Hao lena, Grace ona le main character syndrome."

@Nolutha56377797 piled on with:

"Of course, Gracie wants to outshine the singer."

@FaithHebrews wondered aloud:

"So the artist can't perform alone?"

The roasts kept coming: @sirboring_26 crowned Grace:

Following the successful event, the award-winning influencer took to social media to say, "I think I knew the magnitude of renovating my home, but today it hit deep in my heart that I actually did a thing. I'm so grateful to God, man. This wouldn't have been possible without Him. My grandma is happy, and the house is clean."
