The man claims that he's received thousands of friend requests since he was associated with the star and that the incident has disturbed his business and his family.

South Africans react to Nxumalo's posts

@Miss_Hatla reacted:

"She is tired of y’all. So many requests for someone who is not even her husband, oh, South Africa. This is the reason why she hid him in the first place; they are so shameless. That list is long, yoh."

@c_nashe wrote:

"Exposing the accounts is my type of petty."

@MaNdlovu_Carol told Musa Khawula:

"She's coming for you. Be ready for a lawsuit, prepare for another apology."

@LeloOthandawo responded:

"Oh, how I love Mrs LP."

@nobody153129 replied:

"Why did they do that? They wanted him for themselves?"

@reality_everyth asked Musa Khawula:

"Yoh, bathi they coming for you, then you go further to reveal the name and surname. Haibo, awusabi yini, (why are you not scared?). Bathe boundaries."
