He claimed that the poet asked to be paid R70 000 for her opinion – a claim that Ntsiki refuted and clapped back at the podcaster not to use her name for relevance.

She said people shouldn’t bother her with gossip.
“Guys please don’t bother me about what gossip mongers say about me. I don’t really care. This thing is simple. “If I don’t want to be accessible to you, I don’t want to. And I will create hoops for you to jump through,” tweeted Ntsiki.
