Thuso Mbedu Clapped Back At DJ Sbu Dating Rumours With “Unyoko Loyo” And Mzansi Is In Shambles

A wild and unverified rumour linking DJ Sbu and Thuso Mbedu set South African social media completely alight on Monday the 15th of June 2026, and the timeline has not recovered since!

It started with a single tweet on X asking whether the two were an item, and within minutes the whole of Mzansi had an opinion, a meme, and a screenshot ready to share. Nobody could have predicted what happened next though, because the Woman King star herself was about to make Twitter history.

Now here’s where it gets absolutely legendary. Thuso Mbedu, who guards her private life like it’s classified government information, did something nobody expected and replied directly under the troll’s post. She didn’t call her publicist, she didn’t ignore it, she chose pure unfiltered Zulu violence and typed “Unyoko loyo” and logged off like a queen.

The timeline genuinely could not cope. Fans were screaming, laughing, sharing – because when a globally recognised actress comes onto X and drops that specific phrase, you know she is done with the nonsense.

Thuso Mbedu’s Response To DJ Sbu Dating Rumours Breaks The Internet

But Thuso wasn’t finished there because she came back with a second response that was somehow even colder than the first.

She told the whole of X that there are “definitely more relevant people to start rumours about, I promise” – which is her politely telling the internet to go bother someone else. For someone who almost never engages with gossip publicly, she came out swinging with both hands and it was genuinely beautiful to witness.

The comments under her posts were a whole festival of reactions:

Lovejoyn_mlaba: “I forgot that she is from our neighbourhood.”

tcmbhele1: “Chris finally found a rumour owner who responds immediately.”

Titizma1: “First time seeing my girl here, and they’re making her swear.”

Vutshil_malulek: “I had to verify if this is really her account.”

PryvateFigure: “I knew you wouldn’t let this go.”

abutipiano: “And the gloves are off!”

DJ Sbu Breaks His Silence With A Cryptic Post After Dating Rumour Drama

On the DJ Sbu side of things, the MoFaya founder spent all of Monday completely unbothered, posting about Bafana Bafana and FIFA World Cup content like the rumours didn’t even exist. Very calm, very unbothered, very suspicious if you ask us!

Then in the early hours of Tuesday the 16th he snuck onto X and dropped a cryptic quote about people lying while the truth remains known – said absolutely nothing directly but somehow said everything.

Both of them are famously private about their love lives which honestly just made this whole thing ten times more entertaining for Mzansi.

So now the big question is – was Thuso’s reaction too fast and too specific, or is she genuinely just fed up with internet chaos? Drop your thoughts in the comments because we need to unpack this together!
