Somizi has previously hit back at critics, saying: “A lot of people have been questioning my friendship with Vusi Nova and every time I post him they always say something nasty – is he gay? Are you guys sleeping together? It’s none of anyone’s business. If you say something offensive to me and I take offence because I am human, when I clap back, don’t be offended.”
