Mafikizolo’s one half Theo Kgosinkwe says gay rumors almost broke him. Speaking to a local publication, Theo shut down the rumors that have followed him since the early days of his career. The singer says the rumors almost made him quit the music industry altogether.
The father of two also opened up about the pain the rumors brought into his life saying he was most concerned about how his young children would react to the rumors and tried to shield them from it. “I didn’t want my kids to go through all of that but luckily they are young and unfazed by it,” he said.
“It nearly broke me. It used to affect me really badly and at one stage I thought maybe I should even leave the industry.” Thanks to his Christian beliefs he managed to get through it.
“My Christian roots grounded me. I remembered that Jesus too was accused with unfounded accusations and that he could get me through this. It was in my hope that I gained my strength. As long as I know who I am.”
