South Africans comment on Nota's video
@uNaledii said:
"There is no apology for anything. They take the phone away and ask him what he just read for us, even though. He would be confused."
@TFranz47 wrote:
"This guy is a character. He is kind of gaslighting her by 'reading on the phone'. It is very much intentional. He knows what he is doing. He is literally saying 'f*ck you' twice."
@leeroyivry responded:
"What kind of apology is this, man? Nkari (it's like) his publicist wrote it."
@nolwee wrote:
"He is such a narcissist. He must stop getting platforms to bash people."
@mfudwana411 said:
"Big up to him for apologising."
@O_J_Kent replied:
"What if he’s the one who wrote whatever he’s reading, though?"
@uNaledii reacted:
"You believe that? So, if someone apologised to you like that, you’ll be fine about it?"
@LiseSigh replied:
"At least he is apologising."
