During a session with Parliament’s Ad Hoc Committee on Wednesday, 8 October 2025, Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi validated the reasons behind Katiso ‘KT’ Molefe\u2019s alleged motive for killing DJ Sumbody, reinforcing the police’s position on the investigation. On Monday, 15 June 2026, Cassper Nyovest echoed the statement issued by DJ Sumbody\u2019s family in response to claims regarding the circumstances of the producer and club owner’s killing.<\/p>\n

On that same day, Cassper Nyovest reacted to an X user who implied that he was aware of DJ Sumbody’s alleged associations with drug traffickers and unethical politicians. The post read:<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of your closest friends, DJ Sumbody, was in bed with drug lords and corrupt politicians, and you’re pretending like you don’t know anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In his reply, Cassper Nyovest dismissed the accusation and asserted that he was unaware of any alleged wrongdoing involving DJ Sumbody or the events surrounding his demise. He characterized DJ Sumbody as a gifted artist and a dedicated entrepreneur, adding that he was just as taken aback as many South Africans by several of the claims that surfaced following his friend’s death. The post read:<\/p>\n

“Like I said, half of the time I\u2019m just as shocked as you about the news. I know nothing about DJ Sumbody\u2019s alleged dealings or his death. I knew him to be a talented DJ and an ambitious entrepreneur, but you don\u2019t believe me, right? Something always has to be fishy with success.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

DJ Sumbody’s old tweet refuting crime connections gains attention<\/h2>\n

Additionally, social media users brought back an old tweet from DJ Sumbody, whose real name was Oupa Sefoka, following a report connecting his murder to a violent dispute stemming from a missing drug shipment from police custody in Durban.<\/p>\n

In the resurfaced tweet, Sefoka dismissed a netizen’s comment suggesting that he had engaged in sacrificial rituals for his career’s success. He humorously denied these claims, asserting that his achievements came from his dedication to music. The post stated:<\/p>\n

“Just had to post this one, he is asking me if I kill people for money. I am just a DJ. Music is my life.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This earlier post was highlighted by @sa_crime on X shortly after news reports linking DJ Sumbody’s death to the missing drug consignment gained traction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
