Unbreakable ‘Idols’ judge Unathi rolls with the punches
AN UNBREAKABLE spirit.
That is how Unathi Msengana feels every time she laughs off another troll‚ minds her own business and slays in her lane. The judge told the Daily Dispatch she’s never been more “in her element” than she was currently.
At this point‚ no matter what life or trolls throw at Unathi‚ she’s confident that she’ll still be standing after it’s done.
Case in point‚ her recent take-noprisoners approach to trolls who attributed her sexy body to plastic surgery.
“The great thing about working hard for something‚ is that you have absolutely no doubt that you’ve earned it when people start to question you. Other people are just sad with their lives and look for ways to infect others with their sadness. So‚ when I’m up to it‚ I ‘politely’ put them in their place‚ I’ve learnt to do this wherever necessary.”
Since the start of 2018‚ Unathi successfully reached the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro and has enjoyed massive love for her latest album Just like her friend Somizi explains in his memoir‚ everything Mhlongo that has happened to Unathi has left her with an unbreakable spirit.
Over the years‚ Unathi has been at the receiving end of cyber-bullying for everything from her looks to her music and recently her marriage.
She confirmed the split between her and Thomas Msengana much to the disappointment of many fans.
“I’ve also been so humbled by the love my music has received. This album has done better than I could have ever imagined and is still constantly sold out in stores to an extend where I constantly have to be asking my distributor to deliver more. My album was trending just the other day and all praise be to God because I believe this is all Him.”
In contrast‚ Unathi couldn’t help but gush about her new TV gig on
and her excitement from her upcoming book and visual projects for her songs.
She also said she believed people fell in love with her album because she was honest in her music.
“Talk TV or radio is who I am; it’s in my blood and something I enjoy. It comes naturally to me and I love how conversations with yourself‚ with other women and men just leave you with more and more insight. We are also working on my book‚ which we hope will be done nearing year-end.”
