She revealed that many people have eagerly awaited her downfall, making her determination to succeed even stronger. However, she has developed a thick skin over time and no longer lets the negativity affect her.
With a supportive team and a strong faith in God, Azziad remains resilient in the face of online battles. She fights her own unique battles, staying grounded and dedicated to her craft.
"People have really waited for me to fall many times, so the fact that i keep progressing makes them mad. Its different when you have a supportive team and you pray a lot because utashinda ukipigana na mimi on social media mi nafight kwa magoti, so were fighting different battles," Azziad said.
Azziad's advise to her 'haters'
She also had a piece of advice for the haters who question her age and the path to her fame. She believes that such negativity stems from limited thinking and bitterness.
"I have come to understand that people have limited thinking. This is where you feel like i ma 20 years old, so everyone who is 20 years old is not supposed to have achieved certain things... I think it comes from a point of bitterness," Azziad said.
Azziad emphasizes that letting go of jealousy and embracing positivity will lead to blessings from God.
"Ukiwacha wivu mungu atakubariki. Nilibarikiwa na hiyo video moja ya kudance. Jamani dance pia. Unashika makasiriko ndogondogo ya kufungia baraka sababu gani? " she questioned.
Why Azziad keeps relationship & family private
One aspect that Azziad has consciously chosen to keep private is her personal life, including her relationships and family.
She draws a clear line between her personal life and her life online, showing her audience only what she wants them to see.
Azziad explained that her parents and siblings are not part of her fame and, therefore, their privacy should be respected. She firmly believes that they did not choose the limelight; she did.
