South African content creator Seemah has issued a public apology to DJ Zinhle after her remarks about the DJ’s husband, Mörda, sparked widespread backlash online.
The apology came during the latest episode of the Spreading Humours podcast, where Seemah reflected on her turbulent year and acknowledged that she crossed the line with her earlier comments.
Opening up emotionally, Seemah said:
“I don’t have any words for this year. I’ve had a kak year. From people bashing me — even now they’re still bashing me. I think my 2025 ended on Wednesday. I’m done with this year. I feel like deleting it from my mind.”
Shifting to the controversy, she offered a heartfelt apology:
“I would like to apologise to Zinhle for calling her man a dog. I respect that woman so much and I look up to her. She’s a dope DJ. She would support her business, I support hers.”
Seemah explained she was speaking “from a girls’ girls perspective” and acted out of frustration at the time:
“It was wrong of me to call him a dog. I apologise to Mörda as well. I’m sorry for calling you a dog. Honestly, I think you’re a decent guy.”
She added that she never intended to hurt DJ Zinhle:
“I just wanted to apologise to Zinhle — that’s the one person I would never deliberately hurt. I didn’t do it with malicious intent. I’m sorry, man.”
The drama began days earlier on the podcast, where Seemah and co-hosts Yanda Woods and Zille reacted to allegations shared by blogger Musa Khawula, claiming that Mörda was allegedly cheating on DJ Zinhle. In the heat of the discussion, Seemah said:
“Men will embarrass you. Men are terrible… You’d look at him and think Zinhle won here kanti yinja (but he’s a dog).”
DJ Zinhle later responded in a TikTok video, revealing how deeply the insult affected her:
“Yoh, I’m so exhausted… But let me tell you, nothing hit harder than someone calling my husband inja (a dog). I don’t know if I’m going to recover from that one.”
After seeing the video, Seemah attempted to make peace, commenting under the post:
“Molo sis wam. Please check your DMs on IG… I was angry, yes, but I should’ve still been respectful… Xolo sis wam.”
With her latest public apology, Seemah hopes to put the controversy to rest and mend her relationship with both DJ Zinhle and Mörda.
