South African house DJ Oscar MBO once again set social media ablaze, but this time, it wasn’t for his chart-topping sets or impeccable style.
The Yes God hitmaker reportedly pulled out all the stops for his partner and baby mama, Lerato Phasha, allegedly surprising her with a multi-million-rand luxury vehicle that has left Mzansi divided.
On 19 March 2026, a video surfaced of the couple's trip to the dealership, arriving in style in the DJ's BMW X5.
They are seen walking inside the building, where MBO is captured going through some paperwork with a sales representative before he and his gorgeous fiancée make their way to the showroom, champagne flutes in hand, to finally meet the new addition to their garage - a brand new R1.6 million BMW M2.

The lavish new ride follows closely on the heels of another major milestone for the DJ, who previously went viral for building a family home just months after welcoming his newborn.
Although X user MDN News suggested that the car was bought for Phasha, the footage told a slightly different story, showing the DJ in the driver’s seat as they exited the dealership.
This detail, combined with MBO being the one seen finalising the official paperwork, immediately sparked a wave of scepticism online, with many questioning whether the car was truly a gift for his partner or simply another addition to his own personal collection.
As the video made the rounds online, garnering thousands of impressions and hundreds of mixed reactions, the "Twitter detectives" were quick to dissect every frame of the transaction.

While some fans celebrated the moment as a major win for black love and the soft life the couple has been known for, a number of sceptics pointed out that the paperwork and the driver’s seat belonged to the DJ, not his partner. Critics argued that if the car were truly a gift for Phasha, she would likely be the one behind the wheel and signing the dotted line.
its_khumo asked:
"Also, why is he the one signing the papers if the car is hers?"
Nkabiikazii slammed:
"He is so performative, this car is his, man."
Rainbowezzer was curious:
"Why am I feeling like he bought it for himself? An M2? She couldn't pick an X2, or GLC or something? A whole M2?"
ThabangKgosanax speculated:
"The man bought that car for himself."
laninani2 said:
"Huh? But he’s the one behind the steering wheel."
