Influencer sisters SoniaxFyza are receiving immense hate online after an audio clip of Fyza Ali using racial slurs went viral. Since then, the sister duo have also lost brand sponsorships, which they rely on financially.

Despite the 29-year-old Fyza Ali dealing with immense backlash on social media following the audio leak, she did not apologize for her response. She stood by her actions, and in an Instagram response, stated that people needed to “know both sides” before reacting to the leaked clip.

SoniaxFyza have become a popular sister duo on social media. They are best known for their makeup posts and the uncanny resemblance they have to “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” stars Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner.

Their joint Instagram account boasts over a million subscribers. They have collaborated with various brands, including Missguided and SheIn.

She continued:

“I won’t apologize for defending myself in anger because I simply had enough, and stop trying to claim my sister and I, we have nothing to do with your community or your people no matter how much you want to force it or convince us or yourselves or even people we know because we simply don’t care.”
