Fans were surprised when Murdah Bongz and DJ Zinhle admitted to the public that they were in a relationship. The duo started dating in June 2020.
They first came in contact with each other during a recording session of a mutual friend. They both claim that it was an instant spark from the first day they met. While many have been finding it difficult to believe the tales of love at first sight, the duo has let the public know that the stories are all true. The couple has been blessed with a baby girl.
In December 2020, Mudah Bongz was the first to announce their romance publicly when he went to his Instagram to share an emotional post that professed his boundless love for Zinhle. He shared a prayer in Zulu, wishing his relationship with DJ Zinhle to remain smooth and successful. Zinhle replied to the post with the caption “say hello to my sweetheart”.
During Murda Bongz’s birthday, DJ Zinhle could no longer hide her feelings and posted on her social media handle and emotional birthday message to Murdah Bongz. She expressed how thankful she is for meeting him, and wished him a happy birthday by saying “I wish you a birthday that is beyond the world just as you are”.
The duo who has been dating for over a year had earlier denied claims by the media that suggested they were in a relationship. For a while, they succeeded in keeping the relationship known to only close friends and family.
But in March 2020, during the launching of DJ Zinhle’s latest video Indlovu, she called Murdah Bongz her baby, and thanked him for his support.
Murdah Bongz was born on June 9, 1987, and is 34 years old while DJ Zinhle was born on December 30, 1983, and is 37 years old. Thus, there is a significant 4 years age gap between them. Zinhle has been criticized for what seems to be a trend; she has been accused of only dating guys younger than her. She is four years older than her ex ‘AKA’ and she is also four years older than her present lover Murdah.
DJ Zinhle’s previous relationship was publicized. She was in a relationship with a South African rapper, AKA, although the two were in a kind of on-and-off affair. Zinhle and AKA had a child named Kairo Owethu Forbes. In January 2020, Zinhle and AKA finally parted ways for good. After her relationship with AKA ended, she avoided revealing her love life to the public. So, it obviously came as a shock to fans when they found out that she’s been in a relationship with the Black Motion singer.
Aside from DJ Zinhle, another female who has been linked to Murdah Bongz is Thuli Phongolo. Rumors about the duo began going round after they stayed together in a Beverley Hills Hotel during Coachella 2020.
