Skolopad untouched by Zodwa Wabantu’s win
Skolopad said she wasn’t “touched” by virtue of losing to Zodwa Wabantu. The two were both nominees for Drama Queen of the Year at the Feather Awards.
“No, no, no being nominated was enough for me. It was a big deal and achievement for me. Her (Zodwa) winning the award didn’t really bother me, I know she has a big support base,” she said.
Controversial outfit
Skolopad showed up in a Lady Gaga inspired see-through dress where her private parts were covered by boerewors.
The dress, she said, was inspired by her concept to show people that she doesn’t endorse beef.
The full time nurse said it had nothing to do with “trying to take the spotlight from Zodwa” and in fact she was showing support.
“I love DJ Tira’s songs so when I saw him on stage I just went crazy and started dancing in the crowd. But I started even before he called Zodwa on stage, you know I don’t have beef, I was just having fun.”
Though Zodwa addressed her, Skolopad said she understood it was just a reaction.
“No, the thing is I was taught to always think about people’s situations before I let what they do affect me. So when I heard her “address” me, I thought ‘oh well it’s just a reaction and she’s entitled to it’. So I choose not to react, I wasn’t really offended,” she said.
