"I went to the Metros as a plus one. I work at a different radio station. So, I'm just someones date. As much as I was like, 'I can still support you on your milestone career, you are presenting Best Hip Hop, but I can only do that in the crowd,'" she said.

Shamiso explained that she was willing to walk the red carpet because it would look cute, but she had to step back out of respect for her employer.

"When it was time for the first interview, I said I'm not gonna speak about this because the questions were very much big on that station. They will not ask me who is best dressed," she replied.

On Sunday, 26 April, a day after the awards, Shamiso said the video was taken out of context, saying Speedsta was merely trying to get her to escape the chaos.

Shamiso Mosaka explains awkward red carpet moment with bae DJ Speedsta: "Stop with the narratives"

"TO BE CLEAR, my partner was telling journalists that I won't do interviews at a radio event's occasion because I work at a different radio station, and I respect that. Stop with the narratives."

"I was not 'dragged around,' he knew my boundaries around attending this event and was helping me maintain that. Also, I was shaking from anxiety (I don't like carpets), so I actually wanted to take a moment to breathe. Don't try to decide things about people you don't know from a 5-second clip."

"Once you start being a motivational speaker for your partner's behaviour and trying to convince ALL of us on what we saw. Cut! Coma sana lwam."

@majozi4 exclaimed:

"The longer the explanation, the bigger the LIE. You were dragged rudely by your boyfriend qhaa!"

@Yanga_14 asked:

"Baby, you didn’t answer the question. Why let him drag you like that?"
