"I still wonder why you guys expect celebrities to be community leaders. Their capacity is limited to entertainment."

"She has always been a bird."

@Roo_chelley_ commented:

"She willingly dated an abusive predator that should’ve been a main suspect for her 22-year-old’s wife’s unaliving. What possible good philosophy could she have? Let’s not speak about going on international television and crushing over a cereal cheater."

@DolfineDD responded:

"That's why I never stand or fight for celebrities when they sue one another. They don't care about the normal citizen. It's always about the bag!"

@OOhnuh replied:

"Isn't she a foreigner? Why is she commenting on South African matters?"

@Magnoli43476951 mentioned:

"She's not even from here, she's from Zim, that annoys me. She capitalised on her popularity here and thought she was the queen of rap, meanwhile, zero hits, zero musical revenue, just clout and AKA. These are current affairs."
