In the statement, Guluva reveals that he wants to do a paternity test before taking full responsibility for the baby, but Ashley is refusing.

“We would like to take this opportunity to take you into confidence on the rumours currently circulating on social media alleging that Akhonamathemba Zwane, affectionately known as Sweet Guluva, is an absent father,” reads the statement.

The statement also reveals that Guluva has been requesting to meet the child since the beginning of 2025. Guluva also reveals that he's never met his son in person as Ogle is refusing to accede to the request.

@LungileMhl67883 commented:

"This guy is unbelievable. Where do his fans enter in such a serious matter? That child is black. And we, as Zulus, see our bloodline from afar. If it's not his baby, he must say so. He started by saying Ashley was lying; she's pregnant."

@LomalondonP reacted:

"Maybe she was refusing because she was waiting to see the baby first, but why act like he is a deadbeat? Why assassinate his character? I'm glad it's with the lawyers."

@TMthombhen88942 responded:

"This guy denied the pregnancy, spread a rumour that she cheated on him, and allowed his friends and sidekicks to bully her while pregnant. Now, because he is called a deadbeat, he wants to do a DNA if 'this child'. Rubbish. It's Shao Kenzo-lu Ogle for life. No space for Zwane!"

@kessy38692977 said:

"That boy denied that baby, we all heard that voice note, calling Ashley a cheat and that she wanted to trap him. I will also deny him the child."

@MMothobi30345 responded:

"Where was the child in early 2025? Why would you want to pay damages to the child you claim you're not sure about their paternity?"
