DJ Zinhle and AKA have finally confirmed to the media that they are 6 months pregnant with their first love baby after three years of hiding their relationship.
In an interview with Destiny Magazine, Zinhle said: “We’ve been private about our relationship because we wanted it to be something sacred between the two of us. I also think my brand is all about inspiration and I haven’t really figured out how knowing who I’m dating would inspire anyone.”
According to the mag, Zinhle first mentioned the baby subject to AKA last year. The rapper responded with:
“Yes, you’re my girl, I will never find someone else like you, so let’s do it. Just tell me when.” She added that they were supposed do it last year, but work got in the way.
The couple reportedly met in Botswana in 2012. Zinhle recalled: “I remember him saying, ‘Stop being so stuck up, just come out with us,’ as he convinced me to hang out with him and his crew that night. We got stuck in traffic for a while as we were exiting the concert venue. He saw how frustrated and cold I was and gave me his jacket to wear.” The stars, who at the time wouldn’t have known that their relationship would lead to so much chatter, ended up chatting until 4am and went for breakfast. “Afterwards, he asked if he could call me,” she told the mag.
After convincing her to give him a chance, the couple became exclusive. Zinhle revealed that she met AKA’s mother after six months.
She’s described the rapper as a sweet person and also shared his excitement about the baby. “He is so excited about the baby – I’m so proud of him and how he’s handling this.”
DJ Zinhle said that they are expecting the baby to come in July.
AKA also tweeted a picture of the couple, confirming the rumors and captioned it as Movie Night … For 3
Happy for you guys.
