What was supposed to be a sneak-peek into a music video that features Gigi Lamayne turned out to be the start of a twar between rapper Gigi Lamayne and writer Gugu Mhlungu.
It all started when Gigi posted a picture of herself on set for her Isaga lam video.
In the image, Gigi can be seen wearing a revealing outfit while lying on a floor full of money .
Just as everyone was body shaming the rapper, 702 presenter and writer Gugulethu Mhlungu joined in by posting a (since-deleted) zoomed in picture of the same image, pointing out that there was a dead roach where Gigi was lying.
The ‘Ice-cream’ hitmaker did not take kindly to Gugu’s actions and called her out in a thread where she explains how much of a bully “Aunty” Gugu is.
Body shamed but Can’t stop, won’t stop! These are the chronicles of a young woman of color who is perfectly imperfect! #GigiLamayneFoundation

Gugu then replied to Gigi Lamayne’s rant by saying she shouldn’t drag anyone’s craft to which Gigi replied by saying that Gugu is “used to doing this” and some tweeps, including rapper Kid X, seemed to agree with Gigi.
You have no business dragging anyone's craft, not wena dali. Inkinga zakho ziningi zigcwele ibala, like sweeping your fucking floors before coming for me. https://t.co/yOWKLiAh5j

@Gigi_Lamayne serving Aunty first thing on a Monday. God works in mysterious ways. Inspired by your grind, keep doing your thing and ignore the trash talkers. I don't know too many young women making the moves you're making. Stay up Gig' ????

Was Gugu even sure that it was a cockroach? It was an unnecessary attempt of a drag by her. She played herself. #cockroach #Gugu #Gigi pic.twitter.com/VKONlCTDOg

Gugu being dragged and her feminism being questioned made me think that she always calls people out except her faves/squad when they are problematic but maybe she does it privately or I'm just completely wrong.
