• A resurfaced 2024 livestream showed Toya Delazy in distress over her passport being taken by Gatwick Airport security
• The Afrorave pioneer finally spoke out two years later to clarify what actually happened during the incident
• Toya also urged fans to come directly to her for accurate information rather than relying on unverified sources

Toya Delazy has broken her silence on a Gatwick Airport incident that re-entered public conversation after an old livestream began circulating online.

Speaking out on 23 July 2026, the Afrorave pioneer set the record straight, telling her audience the situation had been dealt with long before the video started doing the rounds again.

"I noticed an incident that happened at Gatwick Airport two years ago has suddenly resurfaced online — coincidentally, on the same day I dropped the Phumelela Remix with Nik Nak.

Toya Delazy tells fans to fact-check

Beyond clearing up the specifics, Toya used the moment to address how misinformation spreads when people seek out details from secondary sources rather than going directly to her.

"If you want information about me, come to me, sugar. Otherwise you're going to get lost in the sauce. So fact-check the source before you get lost in the sauce. Always fact-check. People will do anything for clout."

The message was pointed but composed, a contrast to the distress visible in the original livestream that had reignited the conversation.
