This comes after a woman named Chaltu Jateny, who claimed to be the sleeping lady at the concert, came forward on 16 November 2025 to address the incident.

She explained that she had been mentally and physically exhausted after the recent death of her daughter’s father. However, even that was not enough to stir up an apology from the self-proclaimed African giant, who allegedly criticised the people who were offended on the woman’s behalf.
