DJ Zinhle divides social media with Fathers Day tributes

On Sunday, fathers from across the globe were celebrated for their silent contributions. Fathers Day tributes were the trending topic on social media, and joining in on the online festivities, the popular House producer and businesswoman, Zinhle Jiyane, paid respects to her two baby daddies.

On Instagram, DJ Zinhle posted her current romantic partner Murdah Bongz.

On Twitter (she posted him on Instagram stories too) the producer gave a shout-out to her ex and Kairo’s dad, AKA.

Bizarrely, fans were outraged by Zinhle’s decision to recognise her ex, who’s happily involved in a publicised romance with Nadia Nakai, on Father’s Day. Here are some of the reactions to ZInhle’s tributes:

Zinhle and AKA ended their relationship after a second try in 2020. Thereafter, the rapper dated and got engaged to Anele Tembe, who tragically passed away in April 2021.

Zinhle, on the other hand, moved on with her life and dated Murdah Bongz. Together, the couple shares a daughter, Asante.
