COMEDIENNE Felistas “Mai Titi” Edwards yesterday dismissed
social media gossip that she had earned her keep through prostitution.Mai Titi
told NewsDay Life & Style that claims by socialite Jackie Ngarande that the
former lived off sex work were baseless and unfounded as she runs luxury stores
in the central business district.
Mai Titi, who recently bought a house and is building
another two-storey mansion, said an associate of Ngarande fuelled the rumours
after having been engaged to put up curtains at the latter’s house.
“Lately, people are bitter that I bought a house and
jealous can make someone lie about people they don’t know. Someone went to
Jackie’s house to put curtains and they started gossiping about me, that’s when
she said do you know that Mai Titi drilled a borehole for the community and the
house is not hers, so it’s crazy, how can I put a borehole at the house which
is not mine?” Mai Titi quipped.
“Imagine I paid US$5 000 for that borehole and they say
it’s not mine. Thereafter she called the person and that person phoned me now
because she thought we were not friends, so she told me that that’s what Jackie
is saying. That’s why I got angry and made a video to set things straight.”
This was after Mai Titi had posted a video hitting back at
Ngarande, whom she accuses of spreading gossip about her.She, however, refused
to disclose where the properties are located.
“I work hard; I have shops all over town, luxury and epic
stores known as “Zvemukati kwaMai Titi. I think my work is seen everywhere. I
don’t do (dirty) businesses like these stupid clouts are doing. I am a hard
working single mother,” she said.
“I know my house is causing all this alarm, of which it’s
not even the only one. I am actually building a double-storey (house) and
everyone knows that, so people should not be jealous, but should work hard and
believe in God.”
Mai Titi, who wears many hats including gospel artiste,
entrepreneur and MC, aid she was “a prayer warrior” and earned her money
through hard work.
In March last year, she received an award as the Top Female
Entertainment and Social Media Enterprise Business Leader of the Year Award
(2018). She was presented the award by the Women’s Business and Leadership
Awards. Newsday
