Cape Town – Artist Limpopo Boy has broken his silence and expressed remorse following the circulation of a video exposing his intimate areas online.
In a statement posted on his Facebook page, the artist said he was addressing the controversy with a “deeply humbled and heavy heart”, acknowledging that the incident had caused pain, anger and disappointment.
“I have heard the voices of South Africans, and I understand that many people have been affected by what has unfolded,” he said.
Limpopo Boy said he wanted to address the matter without being defensive and take responsibility for what he described as poor judgement.
He explained that he was raised in a Christian family that respects the sanctity of marriage and condemns adultery and infidelity.
“I only discovered after the video was leaked that she was married. I should have independently verified her marital status before sharing a private moment with her,” he said.
He apologised to the Shai family for the pain he said the situation had caused.
“That’s not how I was raised. I’m not a home wrecker,” he said.
Limpopo Boy also apologised to everyone who had been hurt, disappointed or distressed by the incident, saying he did not want to make excuses or dismiss anyone’s feelings.
The artist acknowledged that his actions had consequences for his family, supporters and members of the public who had followed his career.
“At this moment, I am choosing humility over defensiveness. I am choosing to listen, reflect and learn from my mistakes. I’m not a saint, I’m not perfect either,” he said.
He said he could not change what had already happened but was committed to learning from the experience and becoming a better person.
“I know that trust is not restored through statements. It is restored through time, accountability and actions. I ask for an opportunity to do better,” Limpopo Boy said.
