Earlier this week, South African musician Murdah Bongz, also known as Robert Mohosana, found himself at the center of controversy when he posted a video call with his wife, DJ Zinhle, and her former mother-in-law, Lynn Forbes.
In the video, he can be seen enjoying a lunch date with his family and generously offering to pay the bill. However, this gesture didn’t sit well with some critics.

Ever since the passing of local rapper AKA, Murdah Bongz and DJ Zinhle’s relationship has been under intense scrutiny. Just a few weeks after AKA’s death, DJ Zinhle faced accusations of disrespecting her late husband by mourning her ex-boyfriend and “baby daddy.” And now, the focus has shifted to Murdah Bongz and his relationship with AKA’s mother, Lynn Forbes.
Some social media users have labelled Murdah Bongz a “simp” for welcoming Lynn Forbes into his family. They argue that he should prioritize his own mother and spend more time with her.
A troll on X platform commented, “This is Murdah Bongz Morda Parents. They look like parents that are really struggling, yet he’s bragging to DJ Zinhle’s family and Forbes. He last posted his mother in 2020, and till now, nothing. He’s always spending time with Forbes family but fails to do that for his own family. He’s a simp.”

While a few people agreed with this sentiment, many others came to Murdah Bongz’s defense. They argued that it’s not anyone’s place to dictate how he should prioritize his relationships.
One person said, “They show us the house in Zinhle’s show, and they are staying in a beautiful house. I don’t think you’re showing what you’re talking about. Please show us the pictures of your parents and the house you built for them. I see jealousy here.” Another person sarcastically suggested, “Send them your money if you’re that concerned.”

It’s important to remember that social media can often amplify and distort situations. What we see online may not necessarily reflect the reality of someone’s personal life. Murdah Bongz and DJ Zinhle are entitled to make their own decisions about their relationships and who they choose to spend time with.
Ultimately, it’s unfair to label Murdah Bongz a simp based on a short video clip. We don’t have the full context of their family dynamics and the relationships between Murdah Bongz, his mother, and Lynn Forbes. It’s crucial to approach these situations with empathy and respect for everyone involved.
