Nando’s quip elicited an array of reactions from social media users.

AKA first gave the public a glimpse of girlfriend Nelli Tembe in 2020 and described her as a private person.

When asked by his fans if he’s going to feature her in any of his music videos, as he has previously done with his ex-girlfriend Bonang Matheba, his response was “Not a chance. She’s VERY private. First non-celebrity I’ve dated since Uhm … 2008.”

All of Nelli’s social media pages are private and not much is known about her besides the rapper gushing about her regularly.
