Cape Town – South African DJ and actress, Thulisile Phongolo, best known as “Thuli P”, has shut down rumours that she is dating the Jerusalem hitmaker, Master KG.
Thuli’s love life status has been of interest to many, as she has never made her relationships public.
Last week, she was rumoured to be dating South African singer, Master KG.
The rumour was sparked by the former Generations: The Legacy star’s comment on Master KG’s Twitter post about dating older women.
“Is it a bad thing for always falling for people older than you as a guy?,” Master KG tweeted.
The actress replied; “Bathong nana, of course.”
Bathong nana, of course! ??

Twitter users jumped to the conclusion that the two were a couple.
Thuli, who is known not to sit back and take it when it comes to rumours relating to her dating life, quickly poured water on the claims.

She maintained, however, that she and Master KG were just friends.

Phongolo is not new to the scene of dating rumors. According to Times Live, the actress has had to shut down dating rumors after Twitter sleuths came to their conclusions about her moves before.
Just recently, she had to stop rumours that she was dating former president Jacob Zuma’s son, Duduzane Zuma.
