South African rapper, presenter, and fashion icon Anele Zondo, popularly known as Ney The Bae, has responded to a critic who mocked her age and music career.
The troll commented in isiZulu:
“Once you reach 30, you’re already old, and if you have a child, stop singing — I’m not even talking about rapping.”
Anele, who proudly embraces her 30s, posted the message on her Instagram Story with a fiery response:
“POV: My response to all hate – my life just started at 30.”
To drive her point home, she shared a stunning video of herself rocking a black mini dress and fur knee-high boots, confidently showing that age won’t define her style or career.
Fans praised her for handling the hate with class and self-assurance, calling her the ultimate symbol of empowerment.
