DJ Zinhle has responded to ongoing discussions about her marriage to rapper Mordah Bongz, countering accusations of disrespect. This dialogue took place on the L-Tido Podcast, which aired on 5 August 2026, igniting conversations across social media platforms.
In an animal-print chair during the recording, the acclaimed DJ and entrepreneur confronted public scrutiny, emphasizing that her actions are driven by a singular motivation: the welfare of her daughter Kairo.
DJ Zinhle on co-parenting with the Forbes family
Zinhle clarified that her ongoing relationship with the Forbes family, the paternal side of Kairo, is not indicative of disrespect for Mordah Bongz. Rather, it is a calculated approach aimed at providing her daughter with a nurturing and stable environment.
“I know that a lot of people have questioned my decisions, especially around my marriage with Mordah Bongz and maybe seeming like I’m disrespecting him as my husband in whatever I’m doing,” she said. “Literally, nothing that I’m doing… is really to just make sure that Kairo is okay.”
She also addressed the inquiry that has frequently emerged: why does she maintain such a close relationship with the Forbes family?
“What do I do with the folks? Do I throw them away? And then what happens to my child? It’s not logical,” she stated plainly.
Zinhle made it clear that she does not seek validation for her decisions.
“I’m not saying I’m apologetic about it, but I just need people to have that understanding that literally every single decision we are making is for Kairo to be okay.”
