I mean, it's kinda justified, she's not chowing that 80K alone, there're people who travel with her, plus tax, plus tariffs on the foreign currency, so yeah. Plus uncle waffles is very likable, her Instagram is, good plus, I hate to say this, she's pretty and that goes a long way pic.twitter.com/KoBnxxMAyu

She was recently trolled for looking transgender but she lashed out at Tweeps and said she is an ally for the LGBTQI community, but not transgender.
"Real question. What do these pictures prove? Instead, youβre trying to bring down people who have nothing to do with this. I now have to prove my gender based off of my physique and based off of a rumour? You guys are so weird," she wrote.
"You canβt always have something to say. Iβm a proud ally of the trans community, and always have been. Y'all, without fail, will always have something to say. Letβs also remember that just cause someone is a public figure doesnβt make them your friend. Singajwayelani am**imba." she wrote.
