Royal AM super fan Joy “Mama Joy” Chauke found herself caught up in a social media controversy after sharing her Valentine’s Day celebrations with her followers. She posted a series of photos, including a selfie, gifts wrapped in cash, red roses, and a delectable plate of shisanyama. However, the excitement was short-lived when a sharp-eyed netizen pointed out that one of her photos was actually an old image from Gagasi FM’s social media page in 2024.
The user quickly called out Mama Joy for reusing content, claiming that she had stolen the image. This accusation gained traction on social media, with many dragging her for misleading her followers. Mama Joy was not quick to let the claims slide, and the situation gained even more attention when a popular X page reposted the exchange.

Addressing the growing backlash, Mama Joy responded by clarifying her position. She explained that she never explicitly claimed the photo as her own meal, simply sharing it as part of her post. She followed up with a new image of herself enjoying a different meal to put the situation to rest and defend her actions.
Despite her clarification, the incident sparked a wider discussion on social media about authenticity and transparency in the age of curated content. Mama Joy’s mishap serves as a reminder that not everything seen online may be as it seems, and fans are quick to hold celebrities accountable for the content they share.
