Unathi Nkayi is on a tour of clearing her name that has been slandered and dragged through the mud over time. During her sit down with former Idos SA judge and friend Gareth Cliff, Nkayi finally break he silence as to why she stopped being friends with media personality, Somizi Mhlongo.
Nkayi reveals how Mhlongo did not support her during her divorce with Thomas Msengana. Instead, Mhlongo proceeded to take sides between the couple and obviously sided with Msengana. Nkayi inserts how Mhlongo would make unsavory commentary concerning her divorce and made it his story line on Idols SA.
"I think the third thing that people want me to clarify, is the Kaya, Idols and Somizi. All four of us were thick as thieves and Thomas and I got divorced, you and Randall didn't choose sides, never choose sides but he did. He come back and then speak smack about me on the very same reality show." said Unathi Nkayi
Introducing #unCancelled with @GarethCliff@Unathi_Africa is the first guest on unCancelled - our new series of in-depth conversations with people who have been victims of mainstream media attacks.
Evidently, Nkayi has been victimized, trolled and tormented for a long minute after she was axed from Kaya FM as well as Idols SA. Scores of people proceeded to label her the problem, as a difficult person to person to with and she has been at the receiving end for far too long.
She missed Somizi Mhlongo and Mohale Motaung's wedding because her friendship with Mhlongo was already on ice. It all started at the Idols SA judging panel and overextended to their outside world. However, Nkayi is truly grateful to her father who has guided her throughout the drama that she was exposed to with Mhlongo
"My dad said "this s your real life now... this is your real life, and we have raised you to go to school for what you do. You life is not going to be on your own reality show, never mind someone else's. And my dad was like look at it play out, and he wants your divorce to play out on his reality show and that is not going to happen in the Nkayi name. You not going to the wedding and that is going to be the first statement. said Unathi Nkayi
Gareth Cliff: You have no relationship at all?
Unathi Nkayi: No, and that is when I said we are not friend.
