Loyiso Bala Apologizes To The LGBTQ+ Community: Black Twitter Not Convinced! Earlier this week, the singer upset social media after sending a weird birthday message to his younger brother Phelo who is gay.
“Blessed to have spent some quality time with my brother @PheloBala the past few weeks. As I said to him, “I’m in no position to judge u but to love you and to always point you to Christ. Your relationship with him will define your life’s purpose.” #Happy28thBirthday mntshan’am,” Loyiso tweeted.

The singer received major backlash from twitter. From not only the LGBTQ+ Community but celebs and the general public.
With respect, the bigger irony is to seemingly judge someone for HOW there were born … ON their BIRTHday!! ??♂️

Now Loyiso has taken to twitter to apologize for his message saying, “On Sunday, I tweeted a post that offended the LGBTI community. I sincerely apologize as it was not my intention to hurt anyone, but to express my love for my brother. I am against all forms of discrimination and I support all who strive for equal rights and social justice.”

Here are some of the not so kind reactions to his apology.
You were probably advised by your team to apologise. You initially didn’t see anything wrong with your tweet and you probably still don’t but alas….. ?
