The entertainment world is once again in shock as renowned rapper Big Zulu has announced his breakup with his long-time fiancée to marry a man.
The news quickly went viral, especially after his controversial statement: “I love his snake.”
From Rap Star to a Controversial Decision
Big Zulu, born Siyabonga Nene, is one of South Africa’s most prominent hip-hop artists.
Known for his deep, culturally rooted lyrics and powerful voice, he has amassed millions of fans.
His personal life has always been under scrutiny, particularly his relationship with his beautiful fiancée, who stood by him for years.
However, everything changed when Big Zulu unexpectedly revealed his new relationship with a man.
n a recent interview, he openly stated, “I realized I was loving the wrong person. I need to live my truth. This man makes me happy, and I love his snake.” The statement immediately sparked heated debates, with mixed reactions from the public.
Public and Media Reactions
The news stunned not only fans but also the media.
Many were shocked because Big Zulu had always portrayed himself as a traditional Zulu man deeply rooted in his culture. Some loyal fans expressed disappointment, even accusing him of “betraying” his ex-fiancée.
On the other hand, many supporters, especially from the LGBTQ+ community, applauded his courage.
Activists praised him for breaking stereotypes in a society where same-sex relationships are often stigmatized.
Media outlets have been divided—some focusing on the sensational aspect of his statement, while others highlighting the broader conversation about sexuality in African celebrity culture.
What Does “I Love His Snake” Really Mean?
The phrase has become a trending topic, with many speculating about its meaning. Some interpreted it literally, while others saw it as a metaphor for attraction and desire.
Big Zulu has yet to clarify, leaving room for endless memes and discussions online.
A Turning Point in African Hip-Hop?
Big Zulu’s decision could mark a significant shift in the African music industry, where hyper-masculinity often dominates hip-hop culture.
If more artists embrace authenticity, it may pave the way for greater LGBTQ+ acceptance in mainstream entertainment.
