Katumbi has broken her silence following public backlash following her recent fallout with musician Kasolo that stirred debate among fans and followers, particularly supporters of musician Stephen Kasolo who have been attacking her via comment section on various social media platforms.
Following a series of cryptic posts and one lengthy Facebook post that has since attracted widespread reactions online, the outspoken journalist released a statement reaffirming her commitment to her journalism role, stressing that her role is to report, listen and provide a platform for diverse voices—without taking sides.
“As a journalist, my responsibility is not to endorse individuals but to allow space for dialogue,” Katumbi stated, emphasizing that interviewing a person should not be mistaken for supporting their views or opposing others.
She maintained that journalism must remain grounded in fairness, balance and integrity, regardless of public pressure or personal opinions.
Katumbi noted that her work has never been driven by hostility or personal attacks, adding that a free and responsible press should encourage conversation rather than promote silence, intimidation or division.
However, the presenter acknowledged the emotions of Kasolo fans while at the same offering an apology to who may have felt hurt or offended clarifying that causing pain was never her intention as she pleaded with the musician to unblock her.
“My goal has always been to inform, not to harm,” She wrote. “Ambieni kasolo aniunblock”
Katumbi concluded by reaffirming her dedication to ethical journalism, respectful dialogue and accountability, urging the public to judge his work based on professionalism rather than assumptions or perceived affiliations
