Zahara lambastes ‘tasteless’ True Love magazine cover – threatens to sue
Award-winning songstress Zahara has come out guns blazing against her True Love magazine cover‚ labelling the headline “misleading” and “tasteless“.
An infuriated Zahara took to social media to haul the publication over the coals for its choice of words.
One of the publication’s cover lines for the January issue reads: “Zahara: marriage‚ drugs and selling records“.
The Loliwe hitmaker was left fuming by the association of the word “drugs” with her name.
Speaking to TshisaLIVE on Tuesday morning‚ Zahara said she was confused by the caption on the cover as the topic had not been discussed when the magazine interviewed her.
“Before the interview we had agreed on what we would talk about. In the interview we talked about hair‚ body and marriage. I was excited because this was the first time I revealed certain things about my love life but drugs and alcohol was never discussed‚” she said.
The singer wants all copies of the magazine removed from shelves. “If they don’t recall this cover today‚ I will be left with no choice but to take legal action against them. I’m going out this morning to look for magazines and if I find them‚ I will sue‚” she said.
Zahara also expressed her anger on social media. “I honestly hope this is a sick joke from @truelovemagazine‚ how dare they put this type of headline on their cover! Why associate me with drugs?? This is an utterly tasteless and misleading caption!” she said.
