Her remarks follow a heated exchange involving her partner, Reason—also known as Sizwe Alakine—who recently confronted podcasters from Piano Pulse over comments suggesting Gigi was a downgrade from his ex-girlfriend, media personality Luthando "Lootlove" Shosha.
During the podcast, the hosts claimed Lootlove was a more suitable partner for Reason, prompting him to defend Gigi and question the basis of their judgment.
"I'm not with someone because of what they have—I'm with them because I love them," Reason responded, challenging the podcasters' opinions.
"What gives anyone the right to call someone a downgrade?"
Gigi has since addressed the situation, expressing her disappointment rather than anger.
"I'm disappointed for such a big platform with so much influence to have that type of opinion," she told ZiMoja.
"I am not bothered, but someone else would have been badly affected. I just hope people continue to do their jobs with a bit more kindness. Let's be kind."
Despite the controversy, Gigi remains focused on her career. She is preparing for the release of her upcoming album, Doves & Scones, set to drop on March 27.
"That is where I am putting my focus—on my music and my contribution, not competition," she added.
