Newborn reveal draws immediate attention
The actress and singer recently shared a heartfelt clip along with photos of her baby son, marking the first time she has presented him to the public.
Her touching announcement quickly spread across social platforms, with many fans praising her and celebrating what they described as a meaningful new chapter in her life.
Custody allegations complicate the moment
Despite the emotional joy of the reveal, the conversation has taken a tense turn due to allegations raised by Masondo during an appearance on the “Engineer Your Life with Lungelo KM” podcast.
On the show, he alleged that Letoya took their child away even though he says custody documents are in his possession.
“I love my son. She ran away with him. I have custody documents at home. The police are looking for her, but they can’t find her,” he said.
He also claimed that the last time he saw the child was in December, adding that he has been unable to see him since then.
“I last saw him in December around the 23rd and still haven’t seen my child ever since Letoya left with him,” he added.
Masondo further accused the actress of trying to pressure him through other people as he pleaded for the child’s return.
“Letoya Makhene must return what is mine. I want my child,” he said.
Online reaction remains divided
The allegations have since triggered heated discussion online, with users split between those who say they understand the father’s emotional statements and those who argue the public should wait before drawing conclusions.
While some commenters expressed sympathy toward Masondo’s plea, others urged people not to jump to conclusions without hearing both sides of the situation.
