Award-winning musician Naledi Aphiwe has allegedly responded to her ex-boyfriend Mawelele's new romance.

In a shady post, a screenshot shows Naledi apparently reacting online with a low-key, distasteful post, referring to the woman as SHEIN.

What Naledi said about Mawelele's new romance

On Valentine's Day, Mawelele spent his time with a gorgeous new hun, who took him out for some authentic Asian cuisine. They enjoyed signature dishes, including sushi, and danced to some music.

However, Mawelele's last post has people assuming that she was part of a music video shoot. He promoted his first single for 2026, Forever, a love song.

A screenshot of Naledi Aphiwe apparently reacting to the news was shared by @martha on X, and it left many people scratching their heads.

When he and Naledi broke up, he announced his EP, where he said he would answer some burning questions. On the cover, singer Mawelele seemingly penned a letter dedicated to Naledi Aphiwe.

Speaking about his 4-track EP, he wrote: "To all the people who believe in me, to my fans, to my family, to my friends, who want to hear my side of the story and see my perspective… I’m dropping an EP titled “ANSWERS” on the 4th of June," he shared.
"I hope you are doing well. It’s clear our paths have diverged, and we’ve both found new directions. Still, there are moments when a memory surfaces, and l’m reminded of the beauty in what we shared."
