Furthermore, I would like to mention that my parents are very private and appeal to all, not to involve them in social media platforms,” DJ Melzi stated.
DJ Melzi’s statement underscores his commitment to protecting his family’s privacy while dispelling the rumors that have caused unnecessary distress. He firmly requested that his fans and the public refrain from dragging his parents into baseless gossip, highlighting that his parents lead very private lives and deserve respect and consideration.
The timing of these rumors is particularly sensitive, given Dr. Masuku’s ongoing legal troubles. She has appeared in court multiple times as her trial continues, drawing significant media attention. DJ Melzi’s proactive approach to distancing himself from the scandal demonstrates his desire to maintain a clear and focused public image, free from the distractions of unrelated controversies.
