The backlash, which emerged following online posts linked to political campaigning, prompted social media users to express strong opinions, leading the young woman to publicly address the situation.

Responding to the criticisms, she stated, “If he reach your turn no support your mama because of online troll. I love my wura like that regardless,” affirming her loyalty to her mother.
