While speaking YouTube channel Trap & Pass, Langerman said he did not allow phones into his house and spent over R400 000 on his housewarming.

Langerman said:

“I bought a house with a big swimming pool which all Sundowns players fitted in. After I bought the house, that’s where the problems started. The same day I received the house keys, I did a housewarming. At the time, I had R570 000 in my account after we had just won a trophy but I can’t remember which. I was living a good life and throwing P. Diddy parties. Buying the house ruined my career and it affected my relationship with the old man [Mosimane].”
