“It’s no longer going to be business as usual for online trolls and platforms sharing false rumours about me and my family.”
In the video, Mercy further addressed her fans:
“Hi guys, good morning from the other side. First and foremost, let me thank you all for supporting my craft. I do not take your love for granted. But I felt the need to say that it’s no longer going to be business as usual. I have plans for later this year regarding online matters, and pursuing legal action will be part of them because some people just won’t leave me and my family alone.”
