Back in 2018, two prominent local social media personalities teamed up to cast some shade on a much younger influencer who had just gotten a book of her poetry published.
Hirzi Zulkiflie and Darryl Koshy (better known as Dee Kosh) put on costumes and make-up, and reviewed Nicole Choo’s book, Nineteen. It turned out to be less of a constructive literary review and more of a harsh mockery of Choo’s work — one that elicited a lot of views as well as vitriol for Choo, who was then 19 years old.
While one of the duo is currently laying low due to an ongoing police investigation, the other has seen the error of his ways. Earlier today (Aug 19), Hirzi issued on Facebook a lengthy statement of apology to Choo for the role he played in the videos published under Dee Kosh’s channel.
His apology was written in response to a post by author Eliza Teoh, the founder of local publisher Bubbly Books, which was behind Choo’s Nineteen.
