Sithelo Shozi has set tongues wagging after appearing to take a subtle swipe at one of her baby daddies in a TikTok comment that has since spread across social media.

When the original poster sympathised with her, Sithelo was quick to reframe the narrative.

"Oh, no, please don't feel sorry for me. Taking care of my children is my ministry, and I absolutely love raising my girls; it's all I live for. Fortunately for us, we're also blessed through grace, just highlighting that some people present something, whereas they're absolute deadbeats," she wrote.

Another person in the comments asked whether her daughters were still living at the so-called "White House," a nickname widely used for the Mpisane family mansion. Sithelo's reply was blunt: "They have never lived there."

Sithelo is a mother of three. Her son is from her previous relationship with Makhosini Phillip Maseko, while her two daughters were born from her relationship with DJ and businessman Andile Mpisane.

The revelations in her TikTok comments have raised eyebrows, particularly given that Andile Mpisane comes from one of South Africa's most prominent and visibly wealthy families. Andile also has two children with his reportedly estranged wife, Tamia Mpisane.

Her first baby daddy, Makhosini Phillip Maseko, is also known for his flashy lifestyle, and while it remains unclear which baby daddy she was shading in her TikTok comments, social media did not waste time pointing fingers at the former Royal AM star.

Sithelo and Mpisane have had a rocky co-parenting relationship, with the media personality often throwing shade at her baby daddy on social media. Her history of criticism has only fueled the speculation about who her latest remarks were about.

Social media weighs in

Netizens wasted no time sharing their thoughts in the comment section, convinced Sithelo was shading Andile Mpisane.

BabablacksheepK slammed Sithelo Shozi:

"She had no business targeting a then child to make babies with him. She thought that she would cash out on Mamkhize's money."

morwediwateffo said:

"And Andile doesn't look like a deadbeat dad, and he looked like a great father to Tamia's kids. Deadbeats don't look like deadbeats when you meet them; they just choose to exclude your kids."
