Rumors of Kelvin Momoh and Babalwa M's breakup turned out to be an elaborate ruse as fans discovered that the couple is still very close.
Speculation about a breakup began last week when photos of Kelvin and another woman were leaked online, prompting social media users to jump to conclusions.
The couple, known for achieving major relationship goals, became the center of online debate, with many wondering if they had broken up.
Adding fuel to the fire, Kelvin and Babaluwa announced today that they will be releasing separate music projects, sparking a playful discussion among fans.
Many felt that men should stream Kelvin's project and women should unite behind Babaluwa's EP in a friendly “battle of the streams.”
The challenge was set and South Africans were eagerly anticipating the outcome.
But in a development that left fans stunned on Friday morning, listeners discovered that Kelvin was featured on Babaluwa's EP, confirming that the rumors of a breakup were nothing more than a publicity stunt.
The couple's collaboration put an end to speculation and fans were excited about their unexpected move and excited about new songs from both artists.
