On Facebook, user Lady Londie posted screenshots of the reactions to Murdah's birthday messages to both Asante Mohosana and Kairo Forbes.

It was his tone and choice of words when he wished Kairo a happy birthday, which seemed to die down when it was his biological daughter, whereas with Asante, it was very simple and to the point.

On the kidfluencer's birthday on 8 July 2025, Murdah said, "Happy birthday, my soul. Words can’t describe how much I love you. You're a blessing that came to my life, made it endlessly beautiful."

Whereas, on Asante's birthday on 8 September 2025, Murdah wrote a straightforward message, "Happy birthday to my beautiful daughter."

Relationship expert Paula Quinsee told Briefly News that blended families blossom when aspects such as mutual understanding of one's past and understanding their values and morals.

"Recognising that both sides in the relationship have history can make navigating the relationship easier," Quinsee said.

Paula added that understanding that kids have ties to their biological families and honouring the role that the biological parents play in their lives can help step-parents build their own relationships with the kids, which is vital in making a blended family thrive.

Sihle Mlaba added:

"What people are not realising is that Bongz is getting Free publicity from all this ... A larger Market for him. It's more beneficial than Hinderance, it's a net gain... Keep angling and talking about his name; y'all are boosting his relevance and shifting the algorithm towards him. He and Zinhle are Marketing geniuses. They know how to get a reaction out of you, and y'all fall for it every damn time. Boss moves."
