She framed her response as a way to clear up the ongoing narrative and shut down the idea that she\u2019s part of any rivalry.<\/p>\n<p>She began by dismissing the gossip as something that has always felt off, then moved into a longer explanation focused on rejecting the notion of tension between women over the footballer.<\/p>\n<h2>Claims about a prior Dubai trip<\/h2>\n<p>Pam alleged that the link between Mihlali and Tolu first gained traction during an earlier visit to Dubai. She said Mihlali allegedly acted as though she were dating the footballer during that trip.<\/p>\n<p>According to Pam, Mihlali purportedly \u201cpretended\u201d to be buying a Birkin bag from a store while Tolu was expected to post or otherwise clarify the situation. Pam claimed that Tolu had to publicly state that Mihlali was not his girlfriend, that he does not live in Dubai, and that he did not buy the Birkin bag Mihlali appeared to claim.<\/p>\n<p>Pam said she hopes that this time around, Mihlali will finally follow through on what she described as repeated \u201cpretending,\u201d suggesting that the earlier performance didn\u2019t match reality.<\/p>\n<h2>Frustration at being used in gossip<\/h2>\n<p>Beyond the back-and-forth between the influencers, Pam said she\u2019s especially irritated by the fact that she keeps getting mentioned in stories about the alleged relationship. She wrote that she doesn\u2019t like being used to make things \u201cjuicy\u201d and \u201csalacious,\u201d and emphasized that she doesn\u2019t want attention from gossip.<\/p>\n<p>She also made a further allegation that Leeroy Sidambe\u2014described as Mihlali\u2019s former boyfriend\u2014allegedly sent her direct messages while Mihlali was supposedly being linked to Tolu. To support her claims, Pam shared a screenshot dated March last year.<\/p>\n<p>Pam added a pointed line to her argument, saying that if the person she described as the \u201creal boyfriend\u201d were truly involved in a serious way, he would have reached out to her with the level of commitment she implies.<\/p>\n<h2>Mihlali stays silent publicly, Pam continues with her stance<\/h2>\n<p>Despite the ongoing online discussion, Mihlali has not directly addressed Pam\u2019s statements or the rumours about her relationship with the football star. Instead, Pam said Mihlali continued posting from what she described as a luxurious getaway, including photos of two Birkin bags shared to her Instagram Stories.<\/p>\n<p>Pam, however, made it clear she does not want to be pulled into any \u201ctug of war\u201d storyline. She wrote that \u201cgirl versus girl\u201d drama over a man is \u201cvery ew,\u201d and added that she wants to be associated with her brand instead of internet conflict.<\/p>\n<p>At this stage, neither Mihlali nor Tolu Arokodare has officially confirmed that they are dating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dubai-based influencer Pam Mlunjwana, 36, has stepped in to respond to fresh chatter about a possible romance involving her ex, Nigerian footballer Tolu Arokodare, and South African creator Mihlali Ndamase, insisting she\u2019s fed up with being pulled into the story.
