After the passing of Robbie Malinga, his Instagram page had been quiet, however, his son, Robbie Malinga Jnr has revived the page and doesn’t care about people’s opinions.

Robbie junior poured his heart out on the pulpit at his father’s funeral earlier this year, speaking about the bond they shared.

The 16-year-old has been receiving negative feedback for his recent venture to take over his father’s account, in a recent interview on YFM, Robbie defended himself by saying:

“Me and my mom had a conversation, discussing the whole thing. She was in on it the whole time, so it wasn’t a case of me taking my father’s account and boom (I was on it). We talked and discussed how we would do it. I have been doing other accounts, so I don’t get why people are acting like this is a big thing.”

Robbie went on to say that though he was aware of the comments on the page, he was not looking to entertain fans that are against his takeover.

“They are mentoring me, so I can never go wrong. That is why I am so shocked when people disrespect me because I’ll never disrespect anyone. They commenting so bad on my photos and videos and they think I don’t see because I don’t reply back. I will never reply back, so they are talking to themselves.”
