Lady Zamar announces new single and opens up about being ‘cancelled’ after Sjava drama

Lady Zamar is planning on coming back with a hit, which is set to drop on Friday. Speaking on the track called ‘Castles’, Zamar sat down with DJ Sabby on Metro FM to speak about the single.

She also opened up on her reasons for being so vocal on social media as of late, and she explained that she feels public figures have a responsibility to speak openly. “We owe the public… public figures are supposed to service the public. There are issues that pertain to us that I feel like because of the celebrity’ness of it all, our organisations and our management don’t necessarily see the value of breaking things down in public.”

Sharing a snippet of the interview, Metro FM captioned their post: “I have something to say and I feel the need to say it in a way I would understand” – @lady_zamar. Incase you missed it : https:|/omny.fm/shows/best-mornings/ interview-lady-zamar #BreakfastPopin #BestMornings”

Also this week, Lazy Zamar’s episode on the Showmax Original series ‘Unfollowed’ dropped. The show is about interviewing public figures who were “cancelled” on social media and lets the viewer decide if the treatment in each case was deserved.

Zamar infamously accused Sjava of sexually assaulting her back in 2017 but Sjava maintained his innocence throughout the drama around the incident and The National Prosecuting Authority declined to prosecute, citing insufficient evidence.

On ‘Unfollowed’, Zamar said: “It was shocking, really, how my narrative, and my story, and my reality became a focal point of entertainment. It was horrific, to just be in a constant state of being reminded of this thing all the time. I struggled to walk away from it because I constantly blamed myself.”

The ‘Collide’ hitmaker also spoke on how she wound up in a long-term relationship that she claims began in rape, and why it took her so long to accept what had happened to her and speak out.

“I come from a very religious background, and I was taught not to be alone with men,” she said.

“The very first day, I felt like it was my fault. And so I felt like I had no leg to stand on… I struggled to walk away from it because I constantly blamed myself.” – she added.
