Trouble in paradise between Idols judge Unathi and Somizi: “We’re not friends”

Celebrities have always been intriguing to people, to say the least, hence they always get attention from the public every time they do, post, or say something online or in person. Unfortunately, there are always highs and lows that come with being a celebrity. It’s a phase that you have to walk through, embrace, and make sure you treat it as a lesson. At the end of the day, we’re all human beings, which means we’re not perfect and we have to accept that and move on. On top of that, there’s no problem with setting boundaries in your life and checking your inner circle at all times.


 

 

 

Now, it has been reported that the Idols judge Unathi Nkayi has cut off one of her friends, following unfollowing him on social media. The person in question is Somizi Mhlongo who happens to be her former colleague on the singing competition Idols SA. This follows after Unathi shared a post about the American singer and songwriter R. Kelly who was found guilty of numerous charges during his s*x-trafficking trial. This led to Unathi warning her friends that have similar allegations attached to their names. Also, just letting his friends know that stop playing R. Kelly’s music when she’s around. “To ALL my friends who think you’re going to CONTINUE playing R Kelly in my presence. TODAY IT STOPS. No more philosophical B*LL SH*T about you separating the genius from the MONSTER. It STOPS TODAY HMKAY… unless you LOVE being a trigger,” wrote Nolali hitmaker on her Instagram post.

That’s when many people within the comment section questioned her about alleged double standards. As they’ve stated that she’s friends with the likes of Somizi and DJ Fresh who have been alleged to be involved in similar cases as the American singer. That’s when Unathi clapped back at the comments stating that she’s not friends with Somgaga anymore, as she recently unfollowed him on Instagram.
