I am seeing some things going viral on TikTok and Facebook, and bloggers have picked them up. Please, was it in your presence that Destiny Boy’s mother killed him? You are cursing Destiny Boy’s mother. Is it possible for a mother to kill her child?
“He and my mum had an issue, and my mother was speaking as a mother so he could listen to what she was telling him. The husband of a single mother, take it easy. Is it just anyone you can talk to anyhow? You are speaking anyhow and even saying he did money ritual. Did he do it in your presence?”
