Kelly Khumalo slams Jub Jub in Father's Day message

In a TikTok video on Sunday, 15 June 2025, the BazoKhuluma hitmaker subtly dragged her baby daddy, referring to him as a social media dad. Khumalo also scoffed at the excuse that several baby daddies use to justify why they’re absentee parents.

“It’s Father’s Day. Us fathers are celebrating the fruits of being fathers, not social media dads who are gladly not dads, social media donors who are only fathers on social media when there’s barely a trace of their existence in their children’s lives. Their excuse is, ‘The mother of the child doesn’t want me to see the child.’ Are you serious?” Khumalo said.

She argued that a father who wants to be present in their child’s life would drag their baby mama to court just so that they can get regular access.

Social media user @officialtwinny reshared the video on X on Sunday, 15 June 2025. The video was captioned:

“Kelly Khumalo wishes Jub Jub a happy Father’s Day for being a social media 'donor' instead of a Father to their child. 💔😬”

Netizens react to Kelly Khumalo's Father's Day message

In the comments under the social media user’s post, several netizens slammed Kelly Khumalo for dragging Jub Jub for being an absent father when she has contributed to the situation. Others pointed out that Kelly should have kept her issues with Jub Jub private, while several netizens mentioned her late baby daddy, Senzo Meyiwa.

Here are some of the reactions:

@Ndaba_2025 argued:

“Some people are mad, you refuse with the kid just because you're expecting a father to be up and down in courts, just because of your selfish reasons. Bathong, these people are crazy upstairs.”

@DaddyOriel reasoned:

“Chances are that Jub-Jub is absent, not from the child necessarily, but from the toxic mother. Senzo Meyiwa tried to be a present father in her other child's life. Where is he today? Jub-Jub may still reconnect with his child after 18.”

@shine_Mque suggested:

“She must also post and tell us what happened to Senzo Meyiwa.”

@MMashilo28 advised:

“Be careful of the women you have kids with, gents.”

@TsipaA explained:

“My people, the first sign of self-respect is to never drag your personal life, including your family, into public scrutiny. Solve your internal problems away from us. The only help we can offer is gossip and laughter.”
