“Khune CLAPS BACK!💥 Tired of Minnie Dlamini Mentioning Him – His Explosive Response SHUTS Everything Down!🚫😱”

It’s the celebrity clash we never saw coming—again.

But this time, Itumeleng Khune is not holding back.

The Kaizer Chiefs and Bafana Bafana veteran has officially responded to recent comments made by TV personality and media mogul Minnie Dlamini, and the tone is far from polite.

In a strongly worded statement shared via his close sources and later echoed through cryptic social media posts, Khune made it clear: he’s tired of being dragged back into the spotlight over a relationship that ended years ago.

The drama erupted after Minnie Dlamini mentioned Khune yet again during a recent podcast appearance, where she was discussing past relationships, lessons in love, and her evolution in the public eye.

While she didn’t name-drop directly, she made a now-viral comment: “Some relationships taught me how to deal with egos larger than football fields.

” The comment was accompanied by a knowing smirk and laughter from the host, leading fans to instantly assume she was referring to none other than her famous ex, Khune.

The internet did what it does best—clipped, reposted, and dissected the moment from every angle, tagging Khune and flooding his timeline with reactions.

Within hours, “Khune” and “Minnie” were trending side-by-side across Twitter, TikTok, and Facebook.

But this time, Khune didn’t let it slide.

In a rare, cold and calculated response, sources close to the soccer star say he was “fed up with being used as a talking point for clout.

” The insider added: “Khune has moved on.

He’s a married man, a father, and focused on his career.

Every time Minnie mentions him, it stirs up old headlines, gossip, and fan wars.

He’s had enough.

Shortly after the buzz, Khune posted a cryptic tweet that sent fans into a frenzy.

It read: “Respect is when people talk about themselves and leave you out of it.

Especially when they’ve moved on… or have they?” The tweet, though indirect, was seen by many as a direct shot at Minnie, especially given the timing.

The clapback didn’t stop there.

In an Instagram Story later that day, Khune shared a selfie with his wife, captioned: “Peace > Headlines.

” Fans interpreted it as another lowkey message: he’s choosing his new life over revisiting old flames.

This isn’t the first time Minnie has made headlines for referencing Khune in media appearances.

Over the years, she’s made playful, vague comments about her past, often triggering speculation and controversy.

While some fans defend her right to share her truth, others accuse her of recycling old relationships for attention.

And clearly, Khune is over it.

Public reaction has been fierce.

Team Khune supporters have rallied behind him, praising his calm but firm reaction and urging Minnie to let the past stay in the past.

“Minnie needs to stop making Khune her storyline.

We’re in 2025!” one fan tweeted.

Another added, “Khune has a wife and kids.

Why is he still a topic?”

On the other hand, Minnie’s loyal fanbase has clapped back too, arguing that she has every right to speak about her journey, including past relationships that shaped her.

“She’s not naming names.

If Khune thinks it’s about him, maybe there’s guilt somewhere.

” one follower wrote.

While Minnie hasn’t directly addressed the backlash, her team reportedly declined to comment on Khune’s reaction.

Meanwhile, insiders say she’s unbothered and “focused on her brand, motherhood, and upcoming projects.

But the damage may already be done.

With this latest round of public shade, fans are now questioning whether the ex-couple’s once-private breakup has finally hit a breaking point in the public eye.

Once seen as SA’s power couple, Khune and Minnie’s split continues to haunt headlines nearly a decade later—and it seems one half is finally done playing nice.

Industry experts predict Khune’s move might signal a hard boundary being drawn, especially as he continues to rebuild his image on and off the pitch.

With retirement approaching and legacy on the line, it’s clear he wants to focus on family, football, and peace—not petty media soundbites.

As for Minnie? Well, if her track record is anything to go by, this won’t be the last time she stirs conversation—but whether she’ll respond directly to Khune’s subtle shots remains to be seen.

For now, one thing is certain: Itumeleng Khune has spoken—and the message is loud and clear.

Keep his name out of it.
