Tweeps Remind Boity Of “Roaches” Commentary Was it just and apology of convenience or sincere?

Boity Thulo might just be one of the most sincere media personalities, or an aspiring Olivia Pope. And if tweeps are to be believed, it is leaning to the latter. Why? Here’s a quick catch session.

The star had taken to Twitter just last week to speak about her love for the bag. The tweets come as expected as the good sis’ dreams through her tweets. But then a male tweep decided to drag Boity for being in her “thirties”- when she actually just turned 30-years-old this year- and still single. The tweep went on to suggest if she is looking for a man with a bag as heavy as hers she stay single for a while.

No one is sure why, but Boity was clearly not having it that day and went in on the tweep by referring to them as a “roach.” It did not take long for other male tweeps to start attacking the rapper turned reality star in her mentions. Boity instead of blocking that hate decided to plunge head in first with a tweet that suggested that men are “unemployed roaches” that stay on Twitter gossiping because they have nothing else to do.

Fast forward to Thursday, 3 September 2020, Boity returns to the Twitter streets and offered an “apology.” In her words she basically stated that, “These men insulted me in every way possible. I too responded with insults and proceeded to call those men unemployed roaches. If you didn’t insult me that day, the insult was not meant for you.” She then added a smiling face emoji to showcase that there were no hard feelings.

And then on Friday, 4 September 2020, Boity announces her “Boity Pink Sapphire” Eau de Parfum, asking for support from tweeps to buy her fragrance. But the “apology” had not stuck, so tweeps went in reminding her of her roach comments. They did so, so much that “roaches” trended with many inquiring if the apology was sincere or was her way of saying, “Let’s move on, so you can buy my fragrance.”
