"It's okay to spend the holidays on your own instead of dealing with toxic relatives"

Loading player...
The pandemic offered the perfect excuse to those who always have to attend these gatherings even though it's a completely toxic situation and no fun at all.

These individuals were more than content with being home alone, enjoying the time to themselves instead of being forced into a familiar situation where they would be counting down the seconds until they could leave.

Mbali recently reached out to Stacey and J Sbu about this situation and she was not holding back, but she was also spitting some truths.

Take a listen to hear what she had to say.
