If you thought this morning’s one sided twar between Ntsiki Mazwai and Simphiwe Dana was cringe worthy, it just got ugly. Simphiwe is reportedly taking Ntsiki to court over some characters.
Like we reported this morning, Ntsiki went on a twitter rant claiming Dana slept her way to the top. Dana however did not reply or attend the matter on social media, she took a step further and is said to be taking legal action against Mazwai.
Here’s a statement from Dana’s camp:
“There are various tweets that imply that Simphiwe Dana is an alcoholic and has slept her way to the top, Simphiwe distances herself from these tweets as they are false and are defamatory.
Moving forward, Simphiwe Dana will be taking legal action against Ntsiki Mazwai for her tweets, as they may cause irreparable reputational damage to her personal brand and that of other brands that are in partnership with Ms Dana.
This is not the message that we want to send out to the young future leaders of South Africa and Africa as a whole about Simphiwe Dana’s character. Simphiwe Dana stands for hard work, ambition, dedication, perseverance and the right support to become successful as is proven by her social activities and involvement.”
Mazwai doesn’t seemed threatened by the lawsuit as she continues tweeting and maintains she didn’t mention any names.
