On Monday morning a Twitter user dug up Boity Thulo’s old tweets from nearly a decade ago where she makes homophobic comments.
In the tweets, the media personality is bashing some of the local soapies for showing gay couples.
Boity who recently dropped her hit single 'Wuz Dat', posted a statement explaining how "young and naive" she was when she made those "embarrassing" comments.
"A decade ago, I was naive, homophobic, young and didn’t know better. I was 19 and my views on sexuality were warped. We grow, our views change and we do better. It’s gut-wrenching and embarrassing to see them now, however, I am not the same person I was 10 years ago"
Boity's fans jumped into her defence, stating that whoever brought up these tweets is out to sabotage Boity's music career as it gets started.
I mean really...they reaching. You must be doing amazing for someone to go 10 years back to find a fault! Ten years!!?? Woooow 😒

I think the most important thing right now is you acknowledge you wrongs and you are a better person then you were 10 years ago. People will always bring up the bad things you've done before just to take your shine away. Don't let them #OwnYourThrone
