The source, who claims to be a mutual friend of both Anele and her alleged blesser, claims that the unknown man has been secretly asking for money from Zimbabwean millionaire Tazvi Mhaka to fund the rapper's lifestyle.

Maphepha Ndaba published screenshots of their conversation with Anele, where she disregarded the allegations as fake.

"I went to Dubai a while back. I'm only posting now. I'm also not quite sure how this person is adding this up. I'm currently home with family."

Anele is internet famous for her music, striking fashion sense, and, most recently, her controversial BBL. She is also a businesswoman and owns the Baesics brand, which sells a variety of products from water to lip gloss and satin bonnets or Baenettes as she calls them.

Tazvi Mhaka, on the other hand, is a Zimbabwean businessman who is known for his flamboyant lifestyle and links to wealthy individuals, including fellow Zim businessman, Wicknell Chivayo, who was previously rumoured to be dating Mihlali Ndamase.

Social media weighs in on Anele Zondo allegations

The claims have sparked a whirlwind of social media discourse, with users questioning Anele Zondo's financial independence, suggesting that her supposed wealth was linked to a rich man.

"Her trip was so random and cringe to watch. It was very content-focused and totally off her brand. It was giving, 'they must see.' She’s never been a high-end brand collector, first class Emirates, DXB girly. It’s giving, 'I’m just a rural girl, but I’ll force this Dubai life I always see on the socials.' Ladies, we don’t have to copy all these crazy trends, man, it’s okay, really. I believe the friend, sadly."
