Boity defends her MTV MAMAs AKA shade

Johannesburg - Boity Thulo is unapologetic over comments she made at the MTV MAMAs this past weekend, saying she was simply "telling the truth".

Boity came under serious fire on social media this past weekend after throwing what seemed like a lot of shade at AKA.

Boity co-presented the Best Collaboration Award at the ceremony, a category AKA was nominated in but not his frenemy Cassper, when she made the remark that Cassper wins everything anyway.

When AKA won the award, Boity stepped aside to let him pass before he ushered his crew to the other side of the stage, away from Boity, to give his acceptance speech.

But Boity says the shade was unintentional.

"If you look at the actual re-run, Bebe (her co-presenter) mentioned Cassper and I said 'no, he's not nominated in this category but he always wins' and I'm telling the truth. In my heart he always wins," she told Sowetan.

"Now everyone thinks I was throwing shade at AKA and it has nothing to do with anyone," she adds.

In fact, Boity says she's not interested in any beef the two rappers have with each other.

"No, it (the beef) has nothing to do with me and I was just up there supporting my boyfriend, that's it. People are choosing to see it that way because they want to feel something, but for me there was nothing personal up there," Boity says.

So, fam, grab those umbrellas cause Boity isn't providing any more shade!
