Rapper Fifi Cooper has responded to allegations that she swiped amapiano rising star Naledi Aphiwe’s phone at a recent event with disdain.
“You are a child, you have a bright future ahead of you, so stop what you are doing,” she says in the video clip.
To better understand the beef, you have to go back to the accusation itself.
Earlier Naledi Aphiwe had accused a faceless celebrity of nicking her iPhone 16 from her.
In the bathroom
“Guys, I was in the loo and as I was washing my hands, I put my iPhone on the counter beside me or in my pocket,” stated Naledi Aphiwe on video.
Both clips do not mention the name of the place where the phone was stolen.
“Then this celebrity, I will not name, came to me… she was telling me that I was doing great.
“Then she left but instead of turning around to walk normally, she was walking backwards towards the door.
“I had a friend of mine outside the toilet who noticed that this celebrity left the building, left the event.
“Five minutes later, my phone was recording that it is at Dis-Chem nearby.
“When we got home, we checked again. By now it was at this house in Alexandra.
“We went there but then decided we couldn’t just budge into someone’s house because they might think we were attacking them.
Gave because she couldn’t open a case
“We decided to go to the police but they wanted so many things we ended up aborting the plan,” she said, without naming the police station at which she attempted to open the criminal case.
“Congratulations, sisi, now you have yourself an iPhone 12, no, an iPhone 16 that you didn’t sweat for. You’re a top dog. God just snaps his fingers, and you get manna from heaven. You’re a ghost, and we are grateful for your blessings and may God continue blessing you,” said Naledi Aphiwe, sarcastically.
Fifi Cooper responded: “Lies, and you are so young. I don’t know how you feel knowing that there’s no truth to anything that you are saying [sic].
“First of all, I am not your peer. I have been in this industry for more than 18 years.
“You are not just going to accuse me of things you don’t have proof of. You are not even sure of what you are saying. Your story is all over the place.
Don’t drag my name in the mud
“My love, you don’t do that. You don’t drag my name in the mud just because you need attention. So many people used the bathroom.
“Just because I came into the bathroom and you were also there doesn’t mean that I stole your phone. Is it because you know that if you use my name in your post, people will pay attention?
“You are so disrespectful. After I left the bathroom, I went back inside. I stayed until the end – I was one of the last people to leave. When they mentioned you misplaced your phone there, why didn’t they mention my name? I was there. You are a child… you still have a bright future [so] focus on the right things.”
Fans flow to Fifi’s side
And users had their say but it couldn’t have been what the young star had anticipated.
Esishle responded: “All those who are saying Fifi Cooper took the phone they are talking rubbish, shame.”
While Petunia said: “I believe Fifi Cooper, Her side of the story is solid.”
Norry 144 said: “How can you not remember where you put your phone if you were in your sober senses. Shuthi uye wa blackouter… (This means you blacked out).”
More accused Aphiwe of being on something.
