Mbola explained that Smith then went to her YouTube to draw more than inspiration from her content. Smith has announced that she has done no such and that she had never even laid eyes on Mbola’s work, but Mzansi investigated and found Smith’s comment on one of Mbola’s earlier works.

A day ago, Smith reached out to Mbola to clear the air by apologising to her, or she would take her to court for defamation of character to which Mbola laughed at.

See the email below:

"Dear Onezwa Mbola,
" hope this email finds you well.
"I am writing to address a serious matter regarding your recent statements accusing me of stealing your content. You have publicly claimed that I stole your videos related to Boba tea and mozzarella cheese which is untrue and damaging to my reputation.
