In a dramatic turn of events, renowned media personality Phat Joe, also known as Majota Khambule, reported by Times LIVE has stepped forward to refute claims of being evicted from his luxury apartment in Sea Point, Cape Town. Reports circulated alleging that Phat Joe had been served with an eviction order by the Western Cape High Court due to unpaid rent totalling nearly R600,000 since November 2022.
Addressing the controversy in a recent interview on the Podcast and Chill show, Phat Joe vehemently denied the accusations, asserting that he and his family had resided in the apartment without incident for three years until a dispute arose with the landlord over alleged extortion attempts.
According to Phat Joe, the situation escalated into a legal battle involving court cases and even a break-in at his residence. Also reported by Times LIVE however, he clarified that a settlement was reached in March, stipulating that he would vacate the premises by the end of May or June 1. Phat Joe emphasised that the eviction order was misconstrued, as it was part of the agreed-upon settlement and not a forcible removal from the property.
Despite the tumultuous ordeal, Phat Joe reassured fans that he remains financially stable, hinting at upcoming announcements that will dispel any doubts about his financial status.
As the media frenzy surrounding Phat Joe’s eviction allegations continues to unfold, the public eagerly awaits further developments and the resolution of this contentious dispute.
