“I mean, that's all he honestly can say is that. He can't be mad at that woman for her opinion 🤷🏾♂️ He won't be losing any bread AT ALL 😭🤔”
@NaoboyRajkumar remarked:
“Whatever this is, I like it when celebs do these stunts and dramas. I mean, you guys are entertainers, so keep us entertained, thank you very much!”

“That’s it? Didn’t he drag Tinashe to hell the other day for saying half of what Zara said?”

“So, only now she decides to do that? Foh 😭🤣🤣🤣 Chris gotta tell the truth about what really went down and stop letting fraud nation and their artists dictate that truth. It's time.”

“Abusers can become better people with treatment. Those resentful people in these comments are so stupid, and to be honest, is she doing this for clout? She can do better than this to get attention.”
