Taking to social media she says that Sjava’s friends protected him.
“Everyone says to keep quiet, being is quiet is classy, saying nothing is cool.. you know Twitter is a negative place… that’s the advise I’m getting. People focus on the music, forget about him, but how can I when y’all make it so hard… you think I write about him,” says Lady Zamar.

She claims that on Sunday she was invited to perform at some events and Sjava’s wife was also coming to the same event.
“I’m only responding coz I’m exhausted. I’ve moved on long ago and (yerrr) I’m still dragged into that messy man’s life. What must I do to get you guys to stop with the tags and mentions? If I was a normal girl who no one knew I’d be left alone but because I’m in the public.

- Was I loved? No
- Was I hurt ..? Yes
- Is it true? Yes
- You’re looking for attention? No
- Did you love him? I thought I did
- Where you afraid of him? Yes
- You’re not over him? I wasn’t into him, to begin with
- Did you think you loved him? Yes
- Where you abused? Yes
Lady Zamar further says that she doesn’t talk with “him” and she honestly forgave him because she would die if she didn’t forgive him.
She says she couldn’t tell anyone because she was ashamed and never confronted her abuser.
Started therapy for about 8 months coz I thought I was going crazy, started having nightmares and nervous breakdowns.. it was hell.. my heart would especially break every time some I loved, respected, admired would tell me how how amazing he is.. I was devastated..
