Singer-songwriter Naledi Aphiwe has expressed regret to Ladysmith Black Mambazo after losing a Metro FM Award to the iconic group.
The young vocalist created a stir online after leaving the stage during a performance in Zimbabwe.
Social media user @TheRealSihlev posted a video on his X account featuring Aphiwe’s apology to Ladysmith Black Mambazo.
“Naledi Aphiwe apologises to her fans for the comments she made about lady smith black Mambazo, but takes shots at Thandeka for losing the R2 million on Big Brother,” he captions the clip.
Public Reactions to the Apology
@SuzanSithole2 remarked:
“Ngizibonela utikiline wase lokshini nje Chris brown wasenza bandla, this cheap dumb as*s thinks she’s this big star that can disrespect anyone! I’m gonna need Ladysmith Black Mambazo to win again next year against her so she can choke on that cheap drug she’s on.”
@KeisoKgosi responded:
“Lol, oksalayo, she didn’t get awards the same way Thandeka didn’t get R2 million. She felt she worked hard for the awards she deserved to win, just like Thandeka, she worked hard for the R2 million she deserved to win. Mara, I’m not surprised with Naledi Aphiwe’s logic onale bo slow learner.”
@KuhleLov commented:
“Thandeka is big, big. Musicians talk about her name everywhere they go. Instead of talking about her industry peer, Lisende Bhantsi, she talks about her mother, Thandeka.”
@baxolilem03 remarked:
“Naledi should really work on improving her English first. Secondly, she could learn a lot from someone like Thandeka. And being in the entertainment industry, she’ll need people, many of whom are Thandeka’s fans. That kind of attitude won’t take her far.”
@nellymbadu questioned:
“Was Thandeka the only HM who didn’t win the R2 million?”
@NPract_IK chimed in:
“Lol, responsibility vs accountability. Oksalayo nawe you didn’t get any award bit*h.”
@Slender366 commented:
“Thandeka has never done anything to Naledi. Never said anything about Naledi. Manje, all this hate ivelaphi? Umenzeni sixolise nkos yam?”
@Faith_Mbhele noted:
“There’s a certain level of eloquence, sophistication, and refinement this young lady will never reach.”
@mamotseyi stated:
“Thailand, we have suffered from this embarrassment. Girl, Nkosi, Jesu, Thandeka is dealing with this one; she can’t even hide it.”
