Media personality Khanyi Mbau not proud of being a slay queen. Talking on Mzansi’s The Big Debate show recently, Khanyi said in retrospect she was just a naive go-getter, whose ambition was used against her by a man in power.
Dubbed and self-proclaimed “slay queen”, Khanyi Mbau has come out to explain why she isn’t proud of the tag and the legacy it holds, even blaming powerful men for fuelling the rise of slaying queens.
Khanyi explained that the real problem was with men in power, who had the resources to get these girls where they want to be but instead use that for their own selfish desires.
Unfortunately, we belong to a society where those in power then take advantage of that because they have the resources and they see the hunger in young women such as my self. They then take that and abuse it. Obviously, women will then take the bait and run with it because they want to make it.
Although Khanyi has come a long way from being that naive girl and has become a boss who now owns all the power.
She made it clear that she wasn’t proud of the phenomenon that has tied itself to her legacy but said it formed part of her life story and she wasn’t going to pretend otherwise.
Lady @MbauReloaded you have matured like fine wine. I love listening to you speak and you are absolutely right. Power struggle. Hunger to exceed. #TheBigDebate pic.twitter.com/qwq66eVRDo

After the debate aired, Khanyi took to her socials to engage what her fans (and trolls alike) what they had to say.
She’s embraced her role and hopes to educate others with her experiences.
