Boity Thulo has slammed DJ Cleo after the muso claimed that convicted rapist Sipho “Brickz” Ndlovu had “fallen along the way”.
Cleo recently reunited with Brickz at a sporting event held in prison by a non-profit organisation, Humanitarian Empowerment.
Reflecting on the experience, the DJ said that we all had to run our own race and the kwaito star had fallen during his. He added that the race was not yet over for Brickz.
We all run our own races, he fell along the way....but the race is not over https://t.co/xhmjPXa27k pic.twitter.com/YzO7PqYx57

His comments sparked outrage and debate from fans, who flooded social media with messages about Brickz.
But Boity was, perhaps, the most vocal, responding with shock to Cleo’s comments.

Soon her comments section was flooded with people defending Brickz.
She responded to the criticism with stinging clapbacks of her own.
To all the psychopaths in my mentions defending Cleo/Bricks, you can go jump off the highest cliff. Until some evil cunt rapes your little sister (or some1 u love) you will continue being a raggedy ass rape apologist because you don’t give a flying fuck about the victim!! Tsek! https://t.co/mt6TfVQ2We

Would this be the same response had he raped you or someone close to you? https://t.co/ABRddrnXfA

In fact, it got so heated that she mistepped and had to apologise for a comment she made to a follower during the debate.
Meanwhile, the war among social media users waged on over whether Cleo was cancelled or being a peacemaker.

So if my brother or any loved one murders or rapes one day then I must disown them? Isn’t Brickz serving his life sentence kanti?

Women think thier special that's the problem. Bricks is in Jail paying for what he did. That doesn't mean his friends have to abonden him. Cleo has every right to support his friend and it doesn't mean he agrees with what bricks did

So Dj Cleo visits his friend in prison, who is serving time for rape...at no point did He say He is condoning his actions....next thing He is being attacked for a mere visit...hay ngu Msunu into yalapha

South Africa is full of rapists waiting to manifest, it’s sickening how most men don’t see anything wrong with what DJ Cleo said, he can visit his friend but he shouldn’t portray him as a saint who was victimized.
