"Love and marriage are not competitions."
What began as a celebratory post for Yahya Goodvibes' wedding quickly spiraled into a toxic social media storm. Radio presenter DJ Shugeta has issued a formal apology to comedians Lorraine Guyo and Anna Honde after his attempts at humor regarding their unmarried status were met with a powerful, viral rebuttal.
Lorraine Guyo’s "Pen Down" statement resonated with thousands, as she challenged the societal pressure on women to marry for validation. Shugeta’s subsequent U-turn acknowledges that "behind the jokes are real feelings."

The Celebrity Feud Deconstructed
Following the lavish wedding of DJ Yahya Goodvibes, DJ Shugeta took to Facebook with a post that many viewed as "unnecessary mockery."
"Kwasara Anna na Lolo"
Shugeta’s original post congratulated Yahya but pointedly asked, "Kwasara Anna na Lolo... kuti vachaenda ivava?" (Anna and Lolo are left behind... will they ever go?). This triggered a wave of comments mocking both Anna Honde and Lorraine Guyo over their marital status.
"I Will Not Settle For Less"
"I am praying for a marriage that brings me peace and joy, not one that looks good for other people’s validation. I see your posts, the 'mvana' narrative... I am watching it all." - Lorraine Guyo.
Refusing to be a Punchline
Lorraine detailed her journey as a girl child raised by a single mother, explaining that she has set high standards for herself. She noted that while dating has been a challenge, she refuses to settle just to satisfy social media "prosecutors."
Hours after Lorraine’s statement went viral, Shugeta posted a sincere apology, admitting he had crossed a line.
"My Girls, I'm Sorry"
“The streets are hard, love is complicated, and nobody deserves to be mocked for where they are in life,” Shugeta wrote. He acknowledged that his "joke" had caused real pain and urged followers to celebrate others without using peers as punchlines.
DJ Shugeta Issues Public Apology to Lorraine Guyo and Anna Honde
"Marriage is a milestone, not a mandate. The weaponization of a woman's marital status is a regressive social trend that needs to be retired."
Lorraine Guyo’s refusal to be bullied into a marriage of 'validation' is a win for personal sovereignty. While Shugeta’s apology is a step toward maturity, the incident serves as a reminder that in the digital age, a joke is only funny until it erodes someone's dignity.
