It seems like she is following in her father’s footsteps as he too is fully booked and busy.

Somizi posted several posts on Instagram of his recent visit to Sun City and the overflowing bubble bath in his room. 

Somizi hit back at critics who dragged him for using too much water and questioned who was going to clean up all the soap after he was done.

The comment section was filled with people who felt entitled to say the bath picture was over the top.

“Can you just look at what the post is? It is opulence, it is just beautiful.”
