"RIP Musa Khawula, I got this news from a really reliable source, a really credible source... Musa Khawul is no more. Apparently, there was an altercation in prison and then somebody decided to take my man out. RIP Musa Khawula, if the news is true. What a legend! What a career," Slik Talk said.

Slike talk recognised Musa Khawula as a "legend" who supported his career from the beginning.

However, hours later, Musa took to X to laugh at the claims and ask fans for donations. He also mentioned how this was not the first time such rumours gained traction.

"Why are you guys like this? Why are you killing me? This is not the first time this has happened," Musa said in the audio clip posted on X. "But I just came to say, 'nope', I'm not dead, I am here. Enjoying and drinking cheap alcohol. At 6 in the morning," he laughed. "Since I'm dead, send donations for the Khawula's."

Below are some of the reactions from the online community:

SA shocked by Musa Khawula's involvement in Comission

In a previous report from Briefly News, the Madlanga Commission criticised the leak of the investigator's communication to Musa Khawula, saying it was harmful to its integrity.

Social media users reacted to Musa Khawula's involvement in the commission's proceedings.

Khawula's imprisonment was allegedly linked to the X posts he made about ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula and businessman Ze Nxumalo.
