Often dubbed the original"slay queen", Khanyi Mbau has come out to explain why she isn't proud of the tag and the legacy it holds, even blaming powerful men for fueling the rise of slay queens.recently, Khanyi said in retrospect she was just a naive go-getter, whose ambition was used against her by a man in power.
"I grew up in an ANC home but you know every single day when values are then viewed, you then realise that there are certain things that you need to revisit. That whole idea of saying that I am the ancestor or the original slay queen is really sad. I come from a generation of go-getters, women that believe that they want to make it."
Khanyi explained that the real problem was with men in power, who had the resources to get these girls where they want to be but instead use that for their own selfish desires. "Unfortunately we belong to a society where those in power then take advantage of that because they have the resources and they see the hunger in young women such as my self. They then take that and abuse it. Obviously, women will then take the bait and run with it because they want to make it," she said.
