Just a month after the birth of their beautiful baby, Kairo, DJ Zinhle and rapper AKA have decided to 'end' their relationship.

DJ Zinhle, real name Zinhle Jiyane released a statement on her website to announce the news.

On Sunday, AKA posted a picture of slaughtered cow declaring that he has finally paid 'inhlawulo' (damages) for impregnating Zinhle outside marriage.

Read the full statement :

Amicable separation

After a great deal of thought, reflection and discussion we have decided to end our relationship of three years. We entered our relationship with love and it’s with love and kindness we leave it.

We both wish nothing but a great future for each other and remain dear and trusted friends as well as co-parents to our wonderful baby Kairo, whose happiness and well-being remains our number one priority.

We both deeply care for each other and remain close friends.

There will be no further statements or interviews regarding our relationship as we choose to move on with our lives. Though we choose to live our lives in the public eye we thank you for your understanding and ask for privacy during this time.

Thank you to everyone for your loyalty and support.

Kiernan Forbes (AKA) and Ntombezinhle Jiyane (DJ Zinhle)

Zinhle has since posted the statement on her Twitter account but AKA has not said anything.
