Yago Pondat, the journalist and artist who has been away from Rwanda for a while, has officially declared an end to the verbal war that had raged for months on social media between him, DJ Brianne, and Djihad.
This feud began last year when Yago claimed he had videos showing DJ Brianne and Djihad behaving inappropriately, sparking a series of video exchanges filled with hurtful language from both sides.
Yago, who moved to Uganda claiming he was fleeing enemies, later released videos he described as “embarrassing” featuring people he accused of mistreating him, including Djihad. He also demanded a public apology from DJ Brianne, but later stated her apology was driven by fear rather than genuine remorse.
In response, DJ Brianne and Djihad said they never understood why Yago treated them as enemies, stressing that they had moved on and no longer wanted to engage with him. They challenged him to release any supposed evidence, as they believed he had no power over their personal lives.
After months of public drama, Yago has now decided to bring the conflict to a permanent close. In a public statement, he said:
“Today, I want to put a lasting, peaceful end to this with these people and their followers. I declare this in God’s name, not mine.”
He admitted that the videos he claimed to have do not exist and said he is ready to accept public shame if that’s what it takes to stop the feud.
“The videos of DJ Brianne I claimed to have — I admit, I don’t have them. I’m ashamed. I don’t have them,” Yago confessed, also pledging not to insult DJ Brianne or Djihad again or call them derogatory names implying they are gay.
Although Yago’s apology seems sincere, it remains to be seen whether he will truly refrain from future drama — especially since he has previously promised to stop, only to return to controversies shortly after.
This saga serves as a serious reminder for social media users: the words and actions shared online can have real consequences on others’ lives and relationships.
