Recently, social media has been ablaze with rumours suggesting that South African media personality Somizi Mhlongo might be romantically involved with Zimbabwean businessman Mudiwa Wood.
The buzz started after a series of pictures surfaced online, which many believe show the two of them together, igniting widespread speculation about a possible relationship.
The Viral Pictures and Speculation
The pictures that have gone viral show Somizi and Mudiwa Wood together, sparking curiosity and stirring up rumours across social media platforms.
Some Zimbabweans have further fueled the fire by claiming that Mudiwa himself might be gay, adding an extra layer of controversy to the images.
This has led to a frenzy of discussions, with fans and followers speculating about the nature of their relationship.
Mudiwa Wood Denies the Allegations
Mudiwa Wood was quick to respond to the rumours, taking to his Facebook page to categorically deny any involvement with Somizi.
In a direct and firm statement, Mudiwa made it clear that he neither knows Somizi personally nor has any connection to him beyond the viral pictures.
He wrote, “I know there are people who hate me, understandable.
If I were you, I would hate Mudiwa too.
No servant is greater than the master; they hated Christ too. I do not know Somizi personally.
Me and him will never be friends. I am not gay; we will never mix.
His friend/boyfriend whatever does not look like me.”
Reactions from Social Media Users
Mudiwa’s post has left little room for doubt about his stance on the matter, but social media has been divided in response.
Some users have offered words of support, while others have criticized the need for such an explanation.
For instance, @Ablosom Nzombe said, “My brother, you can’t please everyone, especially now with the issue of content creation.
People are doing everything to make views and likes. Just leave it, bro, you can’t explain to everyone!!”
@Nomore Dzongodza added, “If you can save yourself from all these explanations, you will find peace.
Now you are made to wage a war on Somizi, kkkkk.
Tomorrow you will be responding to him and South Africans at large. Bro, just let it go and continue with your life.”
