September 21, 2019, marked a significant victory for Tony Mochama, a.k.a Smitta Smitten, after he won a civil lawsuit against Shailja Patel. However, his celebration was short-lived as he quickly turned his attention to Kamene Goro, a radio host he had been feuding with.
Smitta Smitten's latest article, published in the Friday Standard, took aim at Kamene Goro over a story she shared in an interview with True Love magazine. The story detailed Kamene Goro's struggles with mental health, including a harrowing experience where she attempted to take her own life by swallowing 70 pills.
However, Smitta Smitten chose to focus on Kamene Goro's weight, suggesting that her size was the reason she was able to survive the overdose. He claimed that God had nothing to do with saving her life, but rather her 'KGs' – a derogatory term used to refer to her weight.
Smitta Smitten's comments sparked outrage, with many condemning his insensitive and hurtful remarks. His article has been widely criticized for its lack of empathy and understanding towards mental health issues.
