In a video shared on her verified X account on Monday, 28 July 2025, Ntsiki Mazwai addressed the report that she had apologised to DJ Euphonik through his lawyers and begged them to withdraw the lawsuit. The video was captioned:

“Not in my name…”

In the video, the Moya podcast host said the report by Sunday World is inaccurate. She also said her emails were not an apology and were taken out of context.

“Good morning, all. It's Monday, the 28th of July, and I'm seeing that the Sunday World published a story yesterday, and it's inaccurate. It's not factual. There is nothing I can do about people taking private emails and then making them seem like they are something they are not. I want to let South Africans know I have made no apology for anything. There is no court of law that has ordered me to apologise for anything,” she said.

Mazwai denied that she’d called DJ Euphonik a rapist and said she is in court for retweeting a post.

“I have never called anybody a rapist. The only court case I know of is me getting into trouble for reposting a tweet about abuse and about abuses. So, the narrative about the rapist is a narrative that has been created, and I can't respond to it because my court order says I can't comment on the case. So, I'm in a precarious position where narratives are being created, but I'm not allowed to respond because of a court order. But I wanted to say that I've never falsely accused anybody of rape,” she explained.

Ntsiki Mazwai said if she wants to apologise to DJ Euphonik or anyone, she’d do so on video and not through the media.
