Why Tsekeleke and Black Cat Girl broke up
Just as the TikTok sensation has been making headlines on social media regarding his acting debut in October 2025. The Lose It or Lose Me reality TV star joined the weight loss show because of how his size put a strain on his relationship with Black Cat.
According to Daily Sun, Black Cat previously told the publication her concerns regarding the reality TV star's weight and also stated that she will leave him if nothing changes, as he has become worse than when they started dating.
She said:
"He wasn't this big when I met him. Now, he has gained more weight. He can't wear his shoes or put on his socks; I have to do that for him. His only job is to wake up and take a bath, and even that I help him with."
