Jub Jub Breaks Down Over Kelly Khumalo Keeping Their Son Away “Stop Making My Child AI”

South African rapper and TV host Jub Jub has once again taken to social media, this time with a tearful plea to singer Kelly Khumalo — asking her to stop painting him as a deadbeat dad and to finally allow him to be part of their son Christian’s life.

Jub Jub“Kelly, Please Let Me See My Son”

In a heartfelt video shared on his timeline, Jub Jub pleaded with Kelly, saying he’s tried every route — legal, traditional, and emotional — to reconnect with his son, but all his efforts have been shut down.

“Kelly, you and I know what court is like. I don’t want to put my boy through that. You know how many times I’ve tried to get ahold of you. You know how many times your sister Gumede and your mother have tried to talk to me about seeing my boy,” he said.

Jub Jub thanked Kelly for raising their son while he was serving time for murder and driving under the influence, but said since his release in 2017, he’s been ready to co-parent.

“So many times I’ve wanted to pay damages. So many times I’ve wanted to wash the house. So many times I’ve wanted to do the right thing traditionally. You’ve been locking me out.”

“Stop Making My Child AI!”

In what’s now become the quote of the day, Jub Jub accused Kelly of being controlling and treating their son like a robot under her total control.

“You want to hold on to the boy and put him in a bottle so you can control him like AI. Stop making my child AI — it’s not fair.”

He claimed he’s been sending birthday and Christmas gifts even while behind bars — until Kelly allegedly began returning them in 2014 and 2015.

“I Drive to His School Just to See Him”

The rapper also shared the emotional toll of being a father from a distance, revealing that he sometimes drives to his son’s school just to catch a glimpse of him.

“The most painful thing is watching my son grow up from afar. I just want to be present in his life.”

As always, social media had a lot to say — and the reactions were a mix of empathy, scepticism, and memes:

@NtombiM: “This man is fighting for his child. Kelly, please don’t use that boy as a weapon.”

@Buhle_Says: “Not him comparing his son to AI 💀😭 this is why she ignores your calls, Jub.”

@Kgosi_Mak: “You want to co-parent but you’re doing it on Instagram? Yoh, men love an audience.”

@Anele_Rae: “Kelly’s silence is louder than this entire video.”

@Lesego_Licious: “He literally said ‘Stop making my child AI’ 💀 what does that even mean?”

@KabeloTheLaw: “He has every right to see his son, but the way he handles it… always public. Get a proper lawyer, chief.”

@IamPhumi: “That AI line will haunt him forever. I felt sad then burst out laughing 💔😭.”

Kelly has previously said she won’t allow Jub Jub into Christian’s life until he turns 18, insisting the courts are open for any father who truly wants access. Jub Jub, however, says he doesn’t want to drag their child through legal drama — just a chance to be a dad again.

“I’m not asking for full custody, I’m just asking to be present in my boy’s life.”
