Queen Lolly Accuses Gogo Skhotheni of Betrayal with Mseleku’s Son
South African singer Queen Lolly, born Nomfundo Shezi, recently made shocking allegations against her former friend, Gogo Skhotheni, on the De Original Careless podcast. Queen Lolly claimed that Skhotheni betrayed her trust by using her name to boost the popularity of her podcast and engaging in a romantic relationship with Mpumelelo Mseleku, her ex-boyfriend.
Queen Lolly revealed that her friendship with Gogo Skhotheni, once strong and supportive, soured after she realized that Skhotheni was using her for personal gain. According to Queen Lolly, the friendship began to unravel when Skhotheni invited her to be a guest on her newly launched podcast. Despite agreeing to the invitation, Queen Lolly was repeatedly met with excuses, as Skhotheni canceled their plans multiple times.
The betrayal deepened when Queen Lolly received a message from Gogo Maweni, another well-known figure in the traditional healing community, informing her that Skhotheni had been interviewing Mseleku, Queen Lolly’s ex-boyfriend, behind her back. This revelation was especially painful for Queen Lolly, who felt used and exploited by someone she had considered a friend.
“When I went to her page, the first thing I saw and heard was about me. I feel like people take advantage of my name,” Queen Lolly lamented on the podcast. She expressed frustration over being a target for content creators who use her personal life and name to generate attention and controversy. Queen Lolly recalled how she had faced similar exploitation from the cast of the reality show “Izingane ZeSthembu,” who falsely claimed that she was ill and had made Mseleku sick as well.
The situation escalated when Gogo Maweni further revealed to Queen Lolly that Skhotheni had not only been interviewing Mseleku but was also romantically involved with him. Maweni alleged that at one of Skhotheni’s events, she witnessed Skhotheni and Mseleku being overly affectionate with each other, all while Skhotheni’s husband, Monde Shange, was present.
Feeling deeply betrayed, Queen Lolly confronted Skhotheni about these allegations. However, instead of receiving an explanation or apology, she found herself blocked by Skhotheni, who became defensive and cut off all communication.
During the podcast, Queen Lolly took a brave step by taking an HIV test live on air to dispel rumors about her health status. She emotionally revealed the results, hoping to clear her name and protect her child, who had been bullied at school due to the false accusations about her health. Queen Lolly expressed her anger toward Mzansi Magic, the channel that aired the defamatory content, for allowing her name to be slandered and contributing to the distressing situation she and her child were facing.
The fallout between Queen Lolly and Gogo Skhotheni highlights the darker side of celebrity friendships and the lengths some individuals will go to for personal gain. Queen Lolly’s revelations have sparked a heated debate among fans and followers, with many expressing their support for the singer and criticizing those who exploit others for content and fame.
