While the winner will be announced on Sunday, Somizi’s announcement hit the trend list earlier this week, sparking mixed emotions from social media users.
While some users were excited to tweet who they would like to see SomG63’s interview, others felt it was unfair for the media personality to move casually, after the “Show the theft allegations” that were brought against him last month.
Somizi made headlines in September after an email apparently sent by creative producer Hastings Moeng to Somizi in 2014 went viral on Twitter.
The email detailed a concept for a cooking show with Somizi that mirrors the current one at 1Magic.
Although Somizi criticized the accusations on social media, claiming no one had the rights to use his name.
During an Instagram Live, Somizi addressed the claims and brought in multiple people, including actress Pearl Thusi to speak about the matter.
He explained to Pearl that Hastings apparently approached him verbally in 2013 about a cooking show, but he refused at the time.
The media personality explained that it was only later that she fell in love with cooking that she thought about starting her own YouTube channel. “I didn’t steal anyone’s concept and I’ll never again say that I came up with an original concept. Many programs inspired me. “
Somizi explained that the concept of his show was nothing new.
“Name, Dinner at Somizi’sI was one of the people who suggested that the show should have my name on it, but anyone can come and say ‘this is my idea’. My program is not an original concept. “
SomG denied reading Hasting’s email and He said he doesn’t handle his emails because he has “people who do that.”
Here are some of the reactions to Somizi’s announcement:
