‘I am praying for the war to end’ − Kelly

Kelly said she is praying for Pakistan after one of her fans commented: “Love you from Pakistan.”

After reading out the comment, she said: “I am praying for your safety, I am praying for the war to end.”

Her manager, who was with her during the live video, tried to intervene but she was not having it.

“No, no, no, let me speak to my Pakistanian friends and family. Guys, yes, we are part of Pakistan… I support Pakistan. Have you seen what has been happening in the news?” she said.

Kelly went on to address people who were asking about her children’s whereabouts.

“I won’t be asked by someone who is sitting at home about where my kids are. They are at home with their grandmother, and I am at work because I am a breadwinner.

“I am responsible for ensuring that their house is paid for, transportation is paid for, gardening, and everything. They are my kids, and I love them. Don’t tell me nothing, yeses, fokon hond.”
