DJ Zinhle has broken her silence on the storm of social media gossip and cheating allegations surrounding her husband, Murdah Bongz, but her response was not aimed at denying the infidelity itself.

Instead, the focus of her emotional public address was the profound sense of betrayal and disrespect she felt when a fellow media personality and acquaintance, Seemah, publicly branded her husband an inja (dog) on her podcast, Spreading Humours.

“Yes, I existed.”

“Like, I’ve actually been trying to ignore all the stuff that’s been happening on social media, the disrespect that comes with it.”

Zinhle, a seasoned veteran of public scrutiny, admitted that while she could weather the storm of generalized social media criticism, the personal nature of Seemah’s insult “hit her hard.”

“But let me tell you, nothing hit me harder than someone calling my husband inja.”

“I that one I don’t know if I’m going to recover from that one.”

Seemah, co-host of the Spreading Humours podcast, had made the comment while discussing the swirling rumors—initially amplified by blogger Musa Khawula—that Murdah Bongz was allegedly cheating on Zinhle with a younger woman. Seemah had reportedly stated that she had respected Murdah Bongz, but concluded with the stinging remark: “You look at him and you think Zinhle won, kanti wuyi nja (he is a dog).”

Zinhle pointed out the cruel irony in Seemah’s attempt to justify the public insult.

“And then to justify what they said, they then said I said I was hurt or I didn’t deny the allegations and I said I was hurt and let him go.”

This justification, based on the assumption that Zinhle’s silence or previous statements implied guilt or resignation, was what Zinhle found most damaging.

She emphasized that her pain was magnified because the disrespect came from someone she had a personal connection with, transforming the situation from public gossip to a private betrayal.

“I think the thing that punished me the most about that statement was because I know the lady.”

“I talk to her quite often on DM sometimes.”

“I bought from her business so she could have reached out to me if she was concerned.”

This revealed a key frustration: the performative concern shown in public by someone who could have easily sought clarification or expressed sympathy in private. Zinhle’s disappointment was clear and palpable.

“But she went straight to Tik Tok to call my husband in hi guys.”

“You guys are doing a lot.”

“You guys are brave.”

This response, delivered in a video that quickly went viral, was the first substantive comment from DJ Zinhle since the cheating rumors began to trend, though she and Murdah Bongz had previously posted a cryptic, seemingly AI-generated video as a form of non-engagement.

The public discussion surrounding the cheating allegations has been intense, fueled by the fact that Murdah Bongz had remained largely quiet, and Zinhle’s initial silence was widely interpreted by commentators as her trying to handle the matter privately.

“Hey guys I hope you guys are doing well today guys.”

“Um, if you are someone who watches spreading humors, you would know by now that Simma called Motorong’s a dog in Janjib just because um it is alleged that he is cheating on DJ Zinda, you know.”

“And ever since Ma started trending you guys about this cheating allegations, um DJ Zinda did not respond like she was so quiet.”

“Um M did not say much.”

“Actually, he didn’t say anything.”

The source noted that Murdah Bongz’s own alleged response—an “AI-like” video—was not considered a credible denial.

The focus then returned to the pain of the personal attack by Seemah.

“So now because Simma called him in this says this was so um painful to watch cuz you know um she speaks to Usima sometimes.”

“Sometimes they would like DM talking about business.”

“So, she was so shocked to see her talking like that on her podcast while she could have just asked her in the DMs on what is going on, if this whole rumor is true.”

“So, she was very, very disappointed and shocked at the same time.”

The public nature of the attack, particularly coming from a familiar face, deeply offended Zinhle, highlighting the complex dynamics of modern celebrity where acquaintances often choose public platform engagement over private courtesy for the sake of views and virality.

The drama reached a swift conclusion shortly after Zinhle’s video, as Seemah publicly apologized to the DJ, acknowledging that she “should’ve still been respectful” and that she had been “angry.”

Seemah also promised both a private and public apology on her podcast, admitting to Zinhle in a comment, “I talk too much, ka phapha.”

While the immediate public disrespect has been addressed and apologized for, DJ Zinhle’s emotional response serves as a powerful reminder of the human cost of celebrity gossip and the line between public commentary and personal, deeply hurtful attacks.

Her pain was not about the rumors of infidelity themselves, but the lack of basic human courtesy and the betrayal of a perceived acquaintance.
