Embattled poet and singer Ntsiki Mazwai of the Uwrongo fame has written to DJ Euphonik saying she was wrong for calling him a rapist and nuzzled him to drop the cost order lawsuit against her.

Mazwai wrote the first email to the lawyers of Euphonik, born Themba Mbongeni Nkosi, on April 14, 2023, before the revered music producer could file papers in the Johannesburg High Court in which he sought an order compelling the controversial songbird to pay his legal costs after he won a defamation lawsuit against her.

In the letter, Mazwai told Nkosi that she had learnt a hard lesson and that the lawsuit had "refined" her emotional intelligence.

"In hindsight I see that I could have handled myself better, and I am thankful for the difficult learning curve that has so much refined my emotional intelligence," Mazwai wrote.

"I thank you for your hard work, as it was you who were my teachers for this difficult lesson on how to handle my emotions better.
