Taking to X (Twitter) on Monday, 30 March 2026, blogger Buzz Life News reported that the South African composer wanted a R500,000 Hermès Birkin Bag and a R500,000 Cartier ring from his ex-fiancée, who allegedly vanished into thin air.

Sources who spoke to the blogger said that Lebo M’s then-fiancée, known as Besso, flew into South Africa from the United States to support him at a major concert appearance in Durban. A source said that the romance between the two cooled off after Besso attended the concert.

“After the concert, something shifted. There was no big public fight, no dramatic scene - she just pulled away, and then suddenly the relationship was over,” the source said.

After Besso withdrew, Lebo M sought to recover a Hermès Birkin bag reportedly worth over R500,000 and a Cartier engagement ring valued at more than R300,000, which he both allegedly gifted to her during their relationship.

“He’s been looking for her high and low,” a source claimed before adding, “This isn’t just about the relationship ending anymore—it’s about what she left with.”

Lebo M opened a case in the United States after Besso allegedly blocked him on all communication platforms. Sources said that she has also blocked Lebo M’s team and staff members who tried to intervene and reach out on his behalf.
