Taking to her Twitter page, DJ Zinhle clarified that the video was not a moment of comfort, as some claimed. In fact, it was just a playful moment between mother and daughter while they were waiting for their food at Vida Cafe.
“My baby. The people who wrote this article used a random video I had posted. What I said and this video was never linked until this article. I wasn’t comforting Kairo in this video. We were playing around at Vida. Stop doing too much,” DJ Zinhle tweeted.

Her fans were quick to rally behind her, offering words of support and encouragement. They advised her to ignore the online trolls and focus on her family and career.
@tklradebe said, “Don’t waste your energy responding to this BS, you are a good mom and you really are doing your best. Futhi parenting ayizi ne manual abantu abeyeke ukuzenza o deputy Jesus.”
@NozingawooGaba added, “You don’t even need to explain yourself momma, keep doing what you do best, uyekele lababantu. You’re doing exceptionally well”
@the_blessed_sba expressed their frustration with the negative comments, saying, “One thing I’ve noticed people on this app do and say anything to roast @DJZinhle!!! And I think they get the most views and likes from talking about her than anything or anyone else lol. It’s sickening that you always have to say negative stuff.”
It’s no secret that social media can be a breeding ground for negativity and unnecessary drama. But DJ Zinhle’s response to the clout-chasing accusations is a reminder that we shouldn’t always believe everything we see or read online.

So, the next time you come across a viral video or controversial story, take a moment to consider the context. Is it possible that things have been blown out of proportion? Is there more to the story than meets the eye?
As for DJ Zinhle, she’s not letting the haters bring her down. She’s focused on being the best mom she can be and continuing to excel in her career.
Let this be a lesson to all of us: don’t let the trolls get under your skin. Keep doing what you love, and don’t be afraid to set the record straight when necessary.
