Kelly Khumalo’s relationship with rapper Chad da Don is no more, Sunday Sun reports.
The publication says the pop star’s recent decision to follow the calling of becoming a sangoma may be behind her decision to end her relationship with the white rapper.
Three anonymous sources confirmed the rumours.

Prior to the break-up, the couple appeared to be very much in love, with TimesLive even reporting in early December that they were engaged.
“I asked…she said yes. Love you my queen @kellykhumaloza,” the rapper wrote on Instagram at the time, after the pair got matching tattoos.
Kelly also posted on Instagram showing off the tattoos, with the caption “I said yes”.
Not long before that, Khumalo has come out guns blazing over a magazine that labelled Chad da Don an “umlungu” (an isiZulu term for a white person).
The cover of the latest Move magazine has the couple with the headline: From shooting a music video to falling in love? Singer hasn’t given up on love and has a new man… KELLY KHUMALO MADLY IN LOVE WITH UMLUNGU.
Khumalo took to Twitter and said that she was “coming” for the magazine.
“I can’t help but feel this headline is very racist, who still sees colour in this day and age, It could have ended with Kelly finds love but no you dirty mother f*****s had to take it that far! I warned but you didn’t listen, I’m so coming 4 u even 4 the old s**t you’ve written!” she said.
The two recorded a music video for their collaboration, Dance Comigo, and became an item soon afterwards.
