He has it that he turned the first directive because he doesn’t want to be told what to do on his platforms.
“So I took the pair of shoes and didn’t wear it for like three months. Then wore it; Theo used to probably like sell 1 000 sneakers or 500 sneakers per month if that. Since then… sales. Theo says, ‘I want to thank you, you’ve made my brand big’… Theo gives me R1 million cash. I say to Theo, no, it doesn’t feel right; I reject… I haven’t worked for this money; it’s yours.”
The latest season of Living The Dream with Somizi has been more exciting and exposing. He has been firing shots and spilling the tea in several scandals that have seen his name being implicated.
