Dineo Ranaka’s first baby daddy Blacklez speaks out

South African rapper Blacklez revealed it took him two years to shake off the title “Dineo Ranaka‘s” ex after the pair split.

Speaking in a tell-all interview with media personality Dineo a on her podcast #OpenIdwithDineo, the rapper opened up about their relationship.

He was called a clout chaser when he appeared on the media personality’s reality show Dineo’s Diary. The show followed radio presenter Dineo while she went about her daily life.

When season one came to an end, Dineo was pregnant with Blacklez’s baby and had kicked him out of their house, dumping his clothes outside the gate.The rapper said people often asked him about that incident and he tried to shake it off.

“Now I branch off on my own, I become that guy who dated Dineo for the next two years. I have to work that sh*t off. Everywhere some girls throw it at me. Years trying to show people I’m legit until I stopped trying to show them I’m legit. I was like, haai it doesn’t matter any more, I’m just gonna do what I do. That hurt me more because in between I was trying to mourn my mother.”

During an interview on Cape Talk years ago the rapper defended his baby mama’s character.

“I think she’s one of the misunderstood people, but I think people are starting to see her character. She’s one human being who cares so much about human beings.”

The former couple have a five-year-old daughter Kopano and are happily co-parenting.

“Time is the most precious commodity. We came to the realization we have a daughter and time is so precious.”
