In an emotional and candid interview, award-winning musician Makhadzi opened up about her enduring bond with Master KG, revealing the deep connection they share despite no longer being romantically involved. The two first crossed paths long before fame and fortune came knocking, and Makhadzi believes that their unique bond is unlike any other relationship in her life. “I met him before he became famous and rich. We were both trying to make it together,” she shared with The Citizen at a recent media briefing in Polokwane. Makhadzi credits this shared struggle for their unbreakable understanding of each other.
Although the pair’s romantic relationship ended in 2020, Makhadzi describes Master KG as her “soulmate” in a deeply platonic sense. “When I say soulmate, I don’t mean we are together or not together,” she explained, clarifying that their connection transcends typical romantic boundaries. Instead, it’s a relationship built on mutual respect and an unwavering bond that continues to grow despite their professional and personal changes. “He’s always protective of me,” Makhadzi noted, referring to Master KG’s tendency to become jealous when she moves on to new relationships, as he is always looking out for her well-being.
Master KG’s gestures of care and concern for Makhadzi have not stopped since their breakup. One of the most notable acts of kindness she mentioned was when he bought her a car during their time apart. “At some point, he bought me a car while we weren’t together. I returned it because I wanted to be with someone else, but now he wants to give it back to me again,” she recalled, indicating that his affection and concern for her remain steadfast, regardless of their personal circumstances. This speaks to the depth of their connection, where even material gifts become a symbol of their loyalty and friendship.
The duo’s relationship has been a subject of much public interest since they rose to fame with their chart-topping collaborations, including the global hit “Jerusalema.” Despite their breakup, Makhadzi insists that their connection is rooted in mutual care and respect. Master KG, who publicly announced their split on Facebook in 2020, emphasized at the time that they needed to focus on their careers. “We are still young and we still need to achieve big things. Hope everyone understands and respects that,” he had written, signaling that the decision to part ways was based on their shared desire for growth and success.
Looking ahead, Makhadzi is channeling her energy into her career, with her highly anticipated one-woman show set for 21 December at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane. The “Jealous Down” hitmaker expressed her excitement and determination to make the show a success, revealing that her main goal is to fill the stadium. “I just want to see the stadium packed,” she said, showcasing her unwavering drive and passion for her music. It’s clear that while she values her personal relationships, Makhadzi’s focus remains on her music and the people who have supported her journey.
As she continues to conquer new heights in the music industry, Makhadzi’s relationship with Master KG remains a testament to the power of true connection—one that endures beyond fame, personal differences, and time. Their story highlights a bond that is more than just romantic; it’s about shared dreams, mutual respect, and a profound understanding that transcends the boundaries of a traditional relationship.
