This award isn’t just about talent. It’s a celebration of her hard work and resilience. It also highlights the unwavering support of her family. 💖
Her fans are celebrating with her, but not everyone is on board. Some comments are laced with sarcasm, like one that reads: “She is more than a botched Brazilian Butt Lift.” This hints at criticism from netzines who believe Minnie Dlamini is overrated.

The comment above proves one thing: netizens will always find something to criticize, even during a celebration. Instead of joining in the joy, some choose to focus on negativity.
However, despite the criticism, most people are celebrating the couple. Many can’t help but praise her husband, Dr. Jones, for supporting Minnie and helping her reach her full potential in life.
