Speaking during an interview on Podcast & Chill, the radio presenter poured cold water on the reports circulating on social media. He said he had stayed at the apartment with his family for three years until recently.

The former The Real Goboza host said problems started when his landlord tried to extort him of R300K. He said the issue started a dispute with the landlord that even resulted in armed men breaking into his home. They have been in and out of court since then. He said:

"They tried to extort me out of R300,000. I said no. A dispute began at that point over a year ago. That dispute evolved into gunmen breaking into my house, all types of court cases. I'm truly in a fight."
