Mzansi has been ablaze recently with talk about Kelly Khumalo and Jub Jub after the hip hop artist made some very strong accusations against her. In an episode of Podcast and Chill With MacG, he alleged that she uses muthi, among many other damaging things.
Amidst all the drama and excitement surrounding the revelations, Kelly’s loyal fans have come out guns blazing to defend their queen. They are going for the jugular, as they have decided to revive abuse allegations that Kelly made against Jub Jub years ago.
Going on Twitter, fans are now asking why Jub Jub didn’t address that. The episode was marketed as his chance to come clean and talk about everything. He talked about his relationships with Kelly and Amanda Dupont, and even about how he made money during his stint in prison.
But tweeps noticed the glaring avoidance of all mention of the abuse claims against his baby mama. They think that he is once again avoiding responsibility for his actions, and that he is only focused on playing victim rather than owning up to his mistakes and making amends.
Also, I’m getting this Jub Jub interview from clips. But I don’t seem to see anything about his abuse of Kelly. Did MacG touch on that? Did Jub Jub talk about abusing Kelly and if he’s made any effort to make amends for that? But also, I guess he’s a man in South Africa. 🤷🏾 pic.twitter.com/SZbpBf7zc8

The Empini hitmaker, in an MTV Base interview titled Kelly Khumalo: Behind the Story, shared the story of their toxic relationship. She said that he had introduced her to drugs and hit her, and that he was also emotionally abusive to her. She further said that the relationship had left her reeling, and that it took a long time for her to mend herself after he left her very broken.
These accusations were made while the rapper was serving time in prison for culpable homicide. At the time, he completely rubbished the accusations, even going as far as to say that Kelly was only seeking attention.
But one would be left to wonder why a star singer would need to seek attention by dragging him through the mud with false claims. The singer even said that she would consider taking out a restraining order against Jub Jub when he got out of prison, even though the two of them have a son together.
Now that he is out, though, he seems to be back to give her hell, at least in the public eye. He naturally has a lot to work through, considering how much time he spent away, but that does not have to mean dragging Kelly into it too.
In the midst of all this, Kelly is staying blissfully unbothered. Although her name has been trending for a while now, she is paying no attention to the extensive dragging online. While everyone was waiting eagerly for her response only hours after the podcast episode dropped, she went online to post a video of herself enjoying some music and praising God.
This is undoubtedly a tough time for Kelly and her son, especially with such horrific pictures of her bruised face resurfacing. We hope somebody will take the little boy into account in the middle of this and consider sparing him more public drama that he is too young to deal with.
