You know when they say people in this industry will use you? They refer to such things…
I was so shocked at this, I can’t ignore it.
What annoys me about this excerpt from the latest Drum Magazine “COVER STORY” is the “POPULAR BLOG” bit.
Look, I don’t need for this magazine to scream JC’s name for us to thrive but this is such disrespect.
The magazine called me, asked for information on this Open letter we published. The girl who sent the letter was willing to give me screenshots of WhatsApp chats with Itumeleng Khune but I didn’t pursue that because I didn’t think publishing those would change the fact that Khune is with moving on with Minnie. So when a journo I like asked about the letter, I thought, oh well, why not.. the girl sounded keen to talk, she’d sent the letter to 1 or 2 other publications anyway, and I sent the open letter and her contact details through to Drum.
So nje considering that THEY made a conscious decision to refer to this blog when they DID NOT HAVE TO when writing about this info that is SUCH a huge part of the COVER STORY, it is a spit in my face to read this “popular blog”BS . They know our name when they type it into their browsers every morning.
There was NO need to even refer to JC, they could have just written:
“Just a week before the awards, a woman claiming to be a friend of Itu’s other girlfriend released an Open Letter addressed to Minnie.”
And honestly, I don’t believe the journo I spoke to is the one responsible for that “popular blog” line.
So to whoever is responsible, if this is a f*ck you to JC, well f*ck you too.
