BARCADI dancer and singer Jelly Babie and the Big Save cashier make peace.

The 18-year-old artist, whose real name is Karabo Khakhu, stepped on the toes of many when she posted a video in which she insulted a Big Save employee.

Her fans and social media users lashed out and demanded that she be cancelled, causing her to lose followers and brands.

Big Save's management issued a statement calling on her to apologise publicly.

"We demand accountability from the TikTok influencer involved and urge that appropriate action be taken by publicly apologising to both our employee and the company," it said.

The former Vusi Ma R5 sidekick went back to the shop and publicly apologised to the woman.

In a video that appears to have been recorded at the location where the incident occurred, she can be heard apologising to the woman named Martha: "I want to thank you for taking the time to listen to me." 

She said she had made a mistake.

"It helped me realise that I can’t go around cursing people. If it hadn’t happened with sister Martha, I would have done it tomorrow and the next day with someone else. She taught me a lesson that if I repeat it, it will be bad for me," she said.

She said that she's still young and urges people to guide her.

"Support me and show me the way. Don’t curse me and don't bring me down because you are not helping me. I'm doing this for all artists to see that people should be respected,” she said.

When she finished apologising, the two hugged with smiles on their faces.
