Although neither of them publicly confirmed a relationship, fans long believed they were an item, until Naledi’s latest post seemed to tell a different story.
The singer shared an emotional montage of herself in tears, accompanied by a cryptic caption directed at a cheating boyfriend.
It didn’t take long for social media detectives to assume she was referring to Mawelele.
One particularly striking line in her post read: "Even if you can build a man a house in the clouds, he will still get a parachute to come down and cheat on you."
The post set off a wave of reactions online, with many fans expressing concern and offering words of support.
One follower pointed to comments allegedly made by Mawelele during an Instagram Live session, writing: “Did you watch Mawelele's live? Yoh! Judging from what he was saying, I don’t think he truly loved you. Askies, you will be ok.”
Naledi’s response was as revealing as it was heartbreaking: “Lol, yeah, he never loved me. Maybe there was something that he was looking to gain, and he got it. Good for him."
