It ends in tears for Naledi Aphiwe and Mawelele

Singer Naledi Aphiwe was emotional in her TikTok post where she said, "Even if you can build a man a house in the clouds, he will still get a parachute to come down and cheat on you."

Without giving context to her post, fans instantly assumed that she was speaking about her rumoured boyfriend Mawelele.

The Romeo and Juliet collaborators never came out to exclusively say they were dating. However, a picture is worth a thousand words! Their cosy photos were enough for fans to put two and two together.

Naledi says Mawelele never loved her

A fan commented on the photo, saying Mawelele spoke negatively about her on his Instagram live.

"Did you watch Mawelele's live? Yoh! Judging from what he was saying, I don’t think he truly loved you. Askies, you will be ok."

Naledi Aphiwe, who was the youngest Metro FM award winner, responded to the fan, and admitting that Mawelele was probably using her for fame.

"Lol, yeah, he never loved me. Maybe there was something that he was looking to gain, and he got it. Good for him."
