Ghanaian singer Mzbel has criticized Afia Schwarzenegger after chastising her for her son’s open request for a laptop for academic purposes.
In an interview, Mzbel’s son requested assistance from the public because he needs a laptop for personal use.
In response to the child, Afia Schwarzenegger chose to give him a laptop, but she also chastised Mzbel for lacking sufficient funds and inadequate training.
Mzbel replied to Afia Schwarzenegger by displaying the many laptops and PCs in her home and criticising her for remarks regarding her child’s attractiveness.
This is Afia Schwarzenegger’s remarks that sparked the controversy: “Call the Uber driver and take the laptop to Mzbel’s son because he was asking for it in an interview. Even if I die my son won’t go to social media to ask for a laptop.
“Stop comparing me to broke people because none of my children will sit on social media and beg for a laptop. He said, ‘I am begging a tech company to buy me a laptop.’ That is an embarrassment.”
In reaction to Afia Schwarzenegger’s claims, Mzbel said: “Even people’s children I have bought laptops for them yet we have not made it public. You [Afia Schwarzenegger] are coming to tell me we need a laptop. Your Vietnam kids that you left them in my house, who taught them how to brush their teeth?
“Do you know how to train children? You went for an orphanage baby so you could beg for money from people. Are you a parent? My son was asking Tech companies to sponsor him with laptops to use for a review, that was what he was asking for.”
