DJ Maphorisa celebrated his 37th birthday in style, hosting a lavish star-studded party that became the talk of the town. Held at Pharoah Motors, the event was graced by some of South Africa’s biggest names in entertainment, including DJ Zinhle, Black Coffee, Oskido, Kabza De Small, Nadia Nakai, and Cassper Nyovest. The black-tie affair featured electrifying performances, including a special set by DJ Black Coffee.
However, the absence of Thuli Phongolo, DJ Maphorisa’s rumored girlfriend, raised eyebrows and fueled speculation about the state of their relationship.
Thuli Phongolo’s Absence Raises Questions
Thuli Phongolo’s no-show at the party reignited rumors of a split, especially after she previously denied being in a relationship with DJ Maphorisa. Last month, she tweeted, “I’m not dating Phori. Let that man live, man.”
Adding to the intrigue, Thuli shared cryptic photos on the night of the party with the caption “Think about it,” sparking online debates. Fans were quick to speculate that her post might be a subtle response to the festivities, with many urging the pair to resolve their differences.
A Rocky Relationship History
DJ Maphorisa and Thuli Phongolo’s relationship has been under the spotlight since May last year when Thuli filed abuse charges against the producer, only to later withdraw them. Earlier this year, reports suggested the couple had reconciled, with DJ Maphorisa allegedly returning cars he had repossessed from Thuli and gifting her a luxury Mercedes-AMG G63 worth R4 million on her birthday.
Despite rumors of reconciliation, Thuli has since made it clear on social media that she is single, writing, “When you’re single, but everyone still thinks you’re dating your ex… I hate that mess. Count me out.”
Fans Speculate on the Fallout
While fans dissect Thuli’s absence and cryptic post, DJ Maphorisa continues to enjoy the spotlight from his extravagant birthday celebration. Whether the two have truly parted ways or are keeping their relationship private remains a mystery.
