It seems like 2016 had just one more bullet for True Love magazine.
Award winning singer, Zahara who is set to be on True Love’s January 2017 issue cover took to social media to slam the mag for their headlined ‘Marriage, Drugs & selling records.’
Earlier this year the mag was also slammed for ruining Lerato Kganyago’s image (on the cover) and body shaming her.
It seemed like the Zahara wasn’t taking this without a fight, the singer expressed her unhappiness over the headline and threatened to take legal action against the mag for associating her name with word ‘drugs.’
“I honestly hope this is a sick joke from @truelovemagazine, how dare they put this type of headline on their cover! Why associate me with drugs?? This is an utterly tasteless and misleading caption! Perhaps it’s an effort to boost sales!! Ndidikiwe kengoku, if they don’t recall this cover today, I will be left with no choice but to take legal action against them! I have been trying to call their offices but no one is answering! Fed up of my name always being used to sell magazines and newspapers!” she furiously captioned her Instagram post.
True Love is trash. ❤️ https://t.co/jer1erAupA

True Love doesn’t give a shit about women or their “stories” …. they just want to sell magazines. Whether they humiliate them or not.
