Cyan Boujee discusses her losses
She indicated that her dignity took a hit along with several brand partnerships that remained unnamed.
“So, I lost a lot. I lost, you know, some bit of dignity. I have a lot of anxiety. I lost my TikTok account, you know. I lost quite a number of brands like you know,” Cyan Boujee disclosed.
When asked by L-Tido if she was satisfied with her response to the backlash, Cyan Boujee expressed that she could have responded better. She acknowledged that the situation taught her to be more mindful of her language.
“Absolutely not, and that’s why I’m saying the accountability I have to take is I’m demanding sensitivity from my tone from now on. How I speak and how I address situations, and you live to learn. This is absolutely a learning curve for me. And if I had to do something like this again, I think then you would know that oh, nah, this girl nah, you know,” she said.
Cyan Boujee expressed sympathy for other influencers who were impacted by the scandal while remaining hopeful about the future.
“So yeah, I’m sorry to everybody, but also shame to the influencers that really depended on this, you know. They have followers, and they make so much money from actual followers, you know. So, it’s just so hard for everybody right now. Like it’s a dark time for everybody, but at the end of the tunnel is always sunshine,” she added.
Cyan Boujee, who was in the news for her rumored relationship with a musician, also mentioned that her boyfriend, referred to as “my man,” distanced himself after she became a subject of social media discussions.
“Was he even a boyfriend? Yeah. He was my man. Okay. And I think he just got distant because of the situation. But I don’t think I lost him. But I also feel like if a person feels like I’m too much for them, they are not enough for me. So, when I mean, why would you just distance yourself? Because, you know, I’m I don’t know. Maybe I’m the face of human trafficking, and that’s why he decided to leave me. I don’t know. I don’t have the answers. You know, I was madly in love. Yeah. I had a man. My man is a rich man. He’s a big man. He’s an independent man, and he is that man,” Cyan added.
