Sneziey Msomi has defended herself against social media trolls. 

After the season 15 Idols SA contestant took to her timeline sharing a picture of her daughter, scores scrutinised her baby's looks. 

Sneziey took to her Instagram stories reacting to the backlash she received. 

“It's crazy how my music never trends like the cyber bullying I receive and now the stigma of 'being a bully' is catching on my baby Kanti. When will I be vindicated? She's only six months, now what? She should grow up with a low self-esteem because her mom was accused of bullying contestants in a competition, and now she must suffer? Internet don't forget already it hurts. The fact that she'll Google me one day and find all the insults I got and now her being bullied but adults because of her 'bully mom' ... she's only six months,

“Don't tell me about 'protecting your children'. I deleted certain platforms because I'm afraid izinhlamba ngoba my grandmother couldn't go to any radio station and talk while she was called umthakathi. I've kept quiet. I never defended myself in any way ngathula I suffered and I hated myself for even going on Idols. I hate the one show that made Sneziey who she is today because I was broken and was never defended. I healed and was hoping I was going to enjoy this phase of my life like everyone else, like every mother does, but I guess not. I'm a bully and my baby is suffering.”
