@liliglowupw
I was shocked by her sudden "rebrand" from artist to philanthropic queen, asking myself why she's so loud – like too loud – about it? Kanti, she's up to some tricks. She's doing it for the competition, Azana

@Pearlyi_n_, Azana sabotaged herself with those theatrics

"Why does she speak like this? She sounds like an air hostess giving a safety briefing. I honestly don’t like it #MissSA2026."
