Sizwe Dhlomo Warns Kelvin Momo Over Repeated Missed Performances Media personality and businessman Sizwe Dhlomo has publicly cautioned popular Amapiano producer and DJ Kelvin Momo (Thato Ledwaba) over his pattern of missing booked performances, warning that the habit could have serious repercussions in South Africa’s high-stakes events industry. In a widely shared post on X Dhlomo wrote: “Someone should warn Kelvin Momo. Some promoters don’t play that. It’s a very dangerous game he’s playing. A missed gig is not just about the money you’re paid – people commit millions to their events.” The message, which quickly amassed over 5,900 likes and hundreds of replies, appeared to reference Kelvin Momo’s latest no-show at a paid gig at Marks Pub & Shisanyama. Organizers and fans reported disappointment after the artist failed to appear despite heavy promotion and ticket sales. This followed a string of similar incidents throughout 2025 and early 2026, including cancellations at events in Polokwane (cited as due to fuel shortages), Sun City, and an OR Tambo Homage Concert, often attributed to health issues, flight problems, or logistical challenges. Promoters invest significant sums – sometimes millions of rand – in marketing, venue hire, security, and artist fees, relying on star power like Kelvin Momo’s to draw crowds. Repeated absences have sparked growing frustration, with some fans and industry insiders accusing the “Amalobolo” hitmaker of unprofessionalism. Past controversies include a R2.8 million lawsuit from Australian promoters (later reportedly resolved). Reactions on X have been sharply divided. Many users called for promoters to stop booking him or even pursue legal action, while others defended the artist, citing family priorities or suggesting the pressure of fame has become overwhelming. Kelvin Momo has previously issued public apologies for his no-shows, but critics argue the pattern is damaging both his reputation and the trust of South African event organizers. As Amapiano continues to dominate the local and global music scene, Dhlomo’s intervention has reignited debate about artist accountability in an industry where reliability can make or break careers. Whether this latest warning will prompt change remains to be seen.

Lebo M wants the R500k Hermès Birkin Bag and R500k Cartier ring after US ex-fiancée Besso vanishes What started as a glamorous relationship involving celebrated music producer Lebo M, his American ex-fiancée Tatiana “Besso” Dixon, filled with luxury gifts, international trips and travels has "ended in tears" and a at the police station. Insiders claim that Lebo M’s then-fiancée, known as Besso, based in the United States, had flown into South Africa to support him at a major concert appearance in Durban. The couple, who had been painting a picture of a high-end romance filled with designer gifts and international travel, appeared solid until everything abruptly changed. “After the concert, something shifted,” a source alleges. “There was no big public fight, no dramatic scene - she just pulled away, and then suddenly the relationship was over.” But while the heartbreak may have been private, what followed has become anything but. At the centre of the fallout is a Hermès Birkin bag reportedly worth over R500,000 and a Cartier engagement ring valued at more than R300,000, both allegedly gifted to Besso during their relationship. Now, according to those close to the situation, Lebo M is on a relentless mission to recover the items. “He’s been looking for her high and low,” a source claims. “This isn’t just about the relationship ending anymore—it’s about what she left with.” Attempts to reach Besso have reportedly hit a dead end. Sources allege she has blocked Lebo M on all communication platforms, cutting off direct contact completely. Even more, insiders say she has gone as far as blocking members of his team and staff who tried to intervene and reach out on his behalf. “No one can get through to her,” says another insider. “It’s like she disappeared overnight. Total shutdown. But he wants what belongs to him.” With communication lines severed, the situation has allegedly escalated beyond personal pleas. It is understood that Lebo M has now opened a legal case in the United States, seeking the return of the luxury items. “He wants his belongings back,” the source insists. “At this point, it’s being handled formally. He’s not letting it slide.” Lebo M broke things off with his then fiancée, Malefu “Mel” Ntsala, to be with Besso. The dramatic fallout comes as Lebo M has already entered a new chapter in his personal life. The veteran producer is now reportedly married to Nomoya Refiloe Dube, known as Moya, in a relationship that insiders say moved quickly after his split from Besso. While he appears to have moved on romantically, those close to him say this unresolved chapter continues to loom large. “This situation hasn’t been closed properly,” a source adds. “And until those items are returned, it won’t be.” Lebo M’s love life has long been a topic of public fascination, with multiple marriages and engagements making headlines over the years. He was previously tied to Zoe Mthiyane, with whom he shares a child, and has had other high-profile relationships that ended amid public scrutiny. Despite the controversy, Lebo M remains one of South Africa’s most respected global music figures, best known for his work on Disney’s The Lion King and its legacy productions - making this personal saga all the more gripping for fans watching it unfold. buzzlifenews.com
