JOHANNESBURG — Legendary South African composer Lebohang “Lebo M” Morake has finally broken his silence to set the record straight on the persistent rumors that he has been married ten times. However, his clarification comes right in the middle of a massive new scandal involving an American ex-fiancée, vanished luxury gifts, and a barrage of multi-million dollar lawsuits.
With a love life that moves at lightning speed, the veteran producer has found himself making headlines once again. After suing a Zimbabwean comedian for $27 million, Lebo M is now hunting down his American ex-fiancée, Tatiana "Besso" Dixon, who allegedly pulled a disappearing act with a Hermès Birkin bag and a Cartier ring worth over R1 million.
Setting the Record Straight
For the first time in recent years, the seasoned producer has publicly responded to the public narrative surrounding his relationship history.
Clarifying the Count
Lebo M recently took the opportunity to address the widespread social media narrative that he has been married ten times. He explicitly set the record straight on the exact number of his failed marriages, pushing back against the exaggerated figures that have dogged him online.
Why the Public is Confused
While the "10 marriages" figure may be a myth, the public's confusion is understandable. Lebo M's romantic timeline is deeply complex, filled with rapid engagements, highly publicized breakups, and a revolving door of fiancées that overlap with one another.
The R1 Million Ghosting
The engagement ended in tears, total silence, and a police station.
The Durban Turning Point
Sources reveal that Lebo M’s then-fiancée, known as "Besso", flew into South Africa from the United States to support him at a major concert in Durban. But immediately after the show, the romance mysteriously cooled. "There was no big public fight, no dramatic scene - she just pulled away, and then suddenly the relationship was over," an insider disclosed.
The Missing Luxury Items
Following her withdrawal, Besso vanished into thin air. Lebo M is now actively seeking to recover a Hermès Birkin bag reportedly worth over R500,000 and a Cartier engagement ring valued at more than R300,000, which he gifted her during their relationship.
Blocked and Reported
"He’s been looking for her high and low... This isn’t just about the relationship ending anymore—it’s about what she left with," a source claimed. Besso has allegedly blocked Lebo M and his entire team on all communication platforms. In response, Lebo M has opened a formal police case in the United States.
The Swift Rebounds
Lebo M's defense of his marriage record is somewhat overshadowed by the sheer speed at which he transitions between partners.
Leaving Mel for Besso
It is worth noting that Lebo M broke things off with his previous fiancée, Malefu “Mel” Ntsala, specifically to be with Tatiana "Besso" Dixon.
A New Reported Marriage
The dramatic fallout with Besso hasn't slowed him down. Lebo M has already entered a new chapter in his personal life. The veteran producer is reportedly now married to Nomoya Refiloe Dube, known as "Moya", in a relationship that insiders say moved incredibly quickly after his split from his American ex.
The $27 Million Comedian Lawsuit
A Joke Gone Wrong
Adding to his chaotic legal diary, Lebo M has been dominating news cycles for suing Zimbabwean comedian Learnmore Jonasi for a staggering $27 million. The lawsuit stems from a joke the comedian made regarding the iconic Zulu lyrics of The Lion King's opening track, "Circle of Life".
South Africa Reacts
As news broke of his missing R1 million gifts and his attempts to clear up his marriage record, South Africans took to X (Twitter) to share their unfiltered thoughts.
@KgomotsoTlhapan advised:
"Lebo M is too old for these shenanigans. At this point, he must just be alone. Marriage and relationships are not for him; he must just concentrate on the 'Lion King'. 🦁"
@thabubu noted:
"This dad has been divorcing every year since I finished matric, and that was 10 years ago."
@ladymtami remarked:
"He should leave relationships alone. He has bad luck."
