Lynn defends Nadia Nakai

On the latest episode of The L-Tido Podcast on YouTube, Lynn Forbes addressed the drama surrounding Nadia's words.

"Nadia and I had a good laugh," she said. "You know what the difference is, when you know someone, like how I know Nadz, and we love each other, when you know someone like that you don't take offence," she elaborated.

Nadia defends decision to move on

Her previous statements were fuelled by the backlash she received for moving on from AKA. Nadia Nakai and Toss sparked dating rumours when the Umlando hitmaker had a music video with Nadia as his love interest. They kissed and made out in the clip, causing uproar among the Megacy.

Defending herself, Nadia said she is allowed to move on as she cannot spend the rest of her life loving a ghost.

"I gained my freedom from this cloud of stigma that keeps me frozen in time as someone's widow when I was never married to him," she said. "You must understand that Kiernan has been gone longer than I was with him when he was alive. I am still Nadia Nakai. I was Nadia Nakai before him, and I will continue to be Nadia Nakai after him."

@ThaaBLaa replied:

"She didn’t mean a ghost as in ghost…SOUTH AFRICA, OPEN THE SCHOOLS. Figurative speech."

@Nay_TKPH responded:

"She’s such a darling and a dream for a mother-in-law. Now I get why the other lady never wanted to leave this family, even after being cheated on."
