Taking to Instagram the star appeared taken aback that the music had been dug up. In true Khanyi Mbau style, she admitted that she probably shouldn’t have ventured into the music business.
“Imagine making an album, good or not, 15 years ago and flops to only get recognition in 2023!! The recognition being comical!! What was I thinking?” she said.
Even fast food chains Nando’s got in the banter. It responded to a tweet saying it was Mbau’s fault that “igwinyas” now cost R5.
