The late DJ Sumbody’s personal life has become the subject of debate and contention, as his 13-year romantic partner, Tlotlisang Moloi, is in a legal battle with the late musician’s controversial business partner, Kagiso Setsetse, over a share of his estate. DJ Sumbody, born Oupa John Sefoka, was a renowned South African DJ and the founder of the popular Ayepyep Lifestyle Lounge.

Conflict between Moloi and DJ Sumbody’s Family

Moloi and DJ Sumbody shared a 13-year relationship and cohabited for six years in a luxurious residence at Copperleaf Golf Estate in Centurion. However, after DJ Sumbody’s passing, Moloi faced difficulty in finding common ground with the late artist’s mother, Violet Sefoka, who was named as the estate’s executrix and took charge, causing friction between her and Moloi.

The conflict reached a turning point when Moloi was evicted from the Copperleaf residence by DJ Sumbody’s family. The family claimed that they needed to perform a cleansing ritual at the home, a decision that has left Moloi without a place to stay and led her to consider legal action against the Sefokas.

Moloi’s legal team reportedly sent a letter to Kagiso Setsetse, demanding a share of the estate. As the battle over DJ Sumbody’s legacy and business empire continues, the players involved must navigate the complex web of emotions, legal principles, and ethical considerations that surround the issue.

Meanwhile, Violet Sefoka has also made headlines as she was reportedly barred from her son’s nightclub, Ayepyep, after instructing employees to hand over speed point bank card terminals and other equipment unlawfully. Setsetse’s lawyers have been handling the matter, further intensifying the dispute between DJ Sumbody’s family and business partner.

The Importance of DJ Sumbody’s Legacy

The ownership battle of DJ Sumbody’s business empire is not just a story about legal battles and financial interests. It’s a tale of love, ambition, and the pursuit of justice, reflecting the many layers of human emotion and the complexity of navigating life in the public eye. While the outcome remains uncertain, the story serves as a testament to the power of art and the profound impact it can have on the lives of the people it touches.

In the end, as the legal wrangling over DJ Sumbody’s estate continues, the South African entertainment industry watches with bated breath. The case highlights the delicate balance between personal relationships, business interests, and the emotional impact of a loved one’s death.
