Somizi is working on a new show and the process has taught him a lesson, well more like a reminder when it comes to industry friends.

The media personality when he began working on a new project, reached out to a few of his industry friends to be a part of his show but the responses he got left him a bit shook.

Somizi in a video posted on Instagram shared how he had to relearn a lesson about self-entitlement and expecting people to be there for him just him was there.

“I’m working on a show and a show needs guests, so I called my people, friends in the industry that I gel with, that I vibe with…friends that I feel that I’ve been there for you, you’ve been there for me at some point,” said Somizi in his video.

The Idols SA judge explained that some of his industry friends when they declined some gave reasons as to why whilst some just said no and the rejection hit a nerve with the star but he had to remind himself no one owes him “shit”.

“Nobody owes anybody sh*t, you are on your own. If somebody decides to support you, big ups, if you decide to be there for somebody…don’t it because you expect them to return the favour.”
