'WTF?': Minnie Dlamini reacts to break-up statement
Minnie Dlamini has seemingly thrown shade at her ex, celebrity plastic surgeon Dr Brian Monaisa's statement on their break-up.
The aesthetician confirmed that the couple had split after a short-lived romance.
Minnie and Brian's romance is alleged to have begun while the latter was still linked to his baby mama, Neema Aloyce.
In an Instagram post this weekend, Brian Monaisa confirmed his split from Minnie Dlamini. In it, he shut down rumours of infidelity on the latter's part.
He posted: 'Mrs Dlamini and I had a beautiful relationship which sadly came to an end purely for personal reasons which had nothing to do with infidelity by either party. Whilst our romantic relationship has come to an end, there remains mutual respect between Ms Dlamini and I.'
His post comes days after he reportedly threw shade at his celebrity ex. In an Instagram Story, the plastic surgeon posted a picture of two women holding a cardboard poster with a message that read, 'I'm sorry, Brian.I'll never cheat again.'
Shortly after Brian Monaisa's posts, Minnie Dlamini shared a reaction video on TikTok to an opera song with the spoof lyrics: 'B*tch, what the f**k?'
She captioned the clip: 'Respectfully…WTF?'
It wouldn't be the first time she has publicly shaded an ex. In 2023, Minnie mocked ex-boyfriend Itumeleng Khune over his failing soccer career.
Last year, the actress and media personality also took several jabs at her ex-husband, Quinton Jones. During her Showmax Roast, Minnie mocked stipulations requiring her to pay maintenance as part of their divorce settlement.

'Your girl needs a hug': UK singer Jessie J diagnosed with early breast cancer
UK singer Jessie J has been diagnosed with early breast cancer. The 37-year-old Bang Bang hitmaker shared the news in an Instagram video, expressing her hesitation about going public with the news but ultimately deciding to be open about it. 'I've been going back and forth a little on should I share it? I want to but there's a lot of opinions outside and I know the media are going to make this way bigger than it needs to be, but I also want to share this with my fans and the people who care about me,' she said. 'I was diagnosed with early breast cancer and I'm highlighting the word early. Cancer sucks in any form but I'm holding onto the word early. I have been in and out of tests throughout this period. I want to be open and share it because selfishly I don't talk about it enough. I'm not processing it because I'm working so hard.' The singer announced she will undergo surgery after her performance at the Summertime Ball. 'It's a dramatic way to get a boob job. I will come back with huge tits and more music,' she said jokingly. Jessie J, whose real name is Jessica Ellen Cornish, has always been open about her health struggles, including her experiences with Meniere's disease, which affects her inner ear and voice, and a miscarriage in 2021. 'I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and sharing their own stories. I'm an open book. It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much, similar and worse. That's the bit that kills me.' Despite that, she has remained positive. 'The past two months have been amazing and having this go on alongside it on the sidelines has given me the most incredible perspective. But, your girl needs a hug.'

Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson call it QUITS
After nearly eight years of an on-and-off romance, Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson have called it quits – and sources say this time, it's final. Multiple insiders confirmed that the Coldplay frontman, 48, and the Materialists actress, 35, have officially ended their relationship. 'It feels final this time,' one source said of the separation. Representatives for both stars have not responded to requests for comment. The couple, who first sparked romance rumours in 2017, were last seen together publicly just two weeks ago on May 16, enjoying a low-key outing in Malibu. Earlier this year in January, the pair were spotted hand-in-hand in India during Coldplay's tour. In March, an insider told PEOPLE that Martin and Johnson had quietly been engaged 'for years,' following widespread speculation since 2020. 'They were in no rush to get married,' the source added at the time. Though breakup rumours emerged last August, Johnson's rep swiftly denied them, insisting the couple was 'happily together.' At the time, a source echoed that sentiment: 'Sure, they've had issues and taken breaks in the past, but things are great now. They both love their careers. They are balancing things the best they can.' Despite that optimism, it appears the challenges in their relationship ultimately proved too great. Dakota Johnson had spoken warmly about her connection with Chris Martin's children from his previous marriage to Gwyneth Paltrow – Apple, 21, and Moses, 19. 'I love those kids like my life depends on it,' she said last year. She also expressed admiration for Chris Martin's artistry: 'I could watch him every day… I feel like I'm watching my most favourite being do his most favourite thing.' Johnson, known for her role in Fifty Shades of Grey , is currently promoting her new romantic comedy Materialists , which hits theatres on Friday, 13 June.

Next Stay Close ✕ Director Jon M. Chu confirmed that both Grande and Erivo will deliver new, original songs, alongside well-loved numbers such as "For Good" and "No Good Deed". "I think it's been reported that we have two new songs. They're great additions to this movie, and they were necessary in this movie to help tell the story,' Chu shared previously in an online interview. Composer Stephen Schwartz, who penned the original score for the stage musical, has once again collaborated on these new pieces, infusing them with the signature charm that has resonated across generations. Fans were first treated to the film's glimpses at the annual theatre owners conference in Las Vegas in April, where initial reactions hailed the footage as "dazzling" and "intriguing". The first film, which grossed an impressive $750 million at the box office and earned 10 Academy Award nominations, set an incredibly high bar. "Wicked: For Good" will continue the narrative from the Broadway musical, which is an adaptation of Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel. This sequel promises to delve deeper into the relationship between Elphaba and Glinda, exploring themes of friendship, betrayal, and the complexity of good and evil. It also teases an integral connection to the classic story of "The Wizard of Oz," with a glimpse of Dorothy standing before the Wizard, flanked by her loyal companions, the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion. Fans are left wondering who will play Dorothy, as the casting for this pivotal role has yet to be revealed. Fans of the musical will also find that "Wicked: For Good" has been crafted simultaneously alongside the original film. In an interview, Chu expressed the decision to split the adaptation into two films as a means to honour the material fully and explore its depth without compromising characters or songs. "It was impossible to make 'Wicked' into one film without doing some real damage to it," he explained. Meanwhile, taking to the comments one fan wrote: "Not even November yet and something has already changed within us....", while another said: "I apologize in advance for the person I will become once I watch Jonathan Bailey and Cynthia Erivo singing 'As Long as You're Mine' 😭😭😭." • "Wicked: For Good" is slated to release in cinemas on November 21.
