From Assault Allegations to Vehicle Repossession: A Recap of the Split Drama
Earlier this year, the former Generations actress made headlines when she reported Dj Maphorisa to the police, alleging assault. Subsequently, Maphorisa was arrested and appeared before a judge. The couple later released a joint statement, requesting privacy as they dealt with the matter. However, the drama did not end there.
Further reports emerged, revealing that Dj Maphorisa had allegedly “repossessed” the luxury cars he had given Thuli during their relationship, adding another layer of controversy to their highly publicized split.
As social media users seized the opportunity to make light of the situation, the online mockery escalated. While some individuals defended Thuli’s association with the Levi brand, others joined in the banter, suggesting that the breakup had caused her to downgrade her fashion choices, moving from high-end brands like Gucci and Louis Vuitton to Levi.
