Young Stunna has been making waves in the music scene with his chart-topping hits and electrifying stage presence. But with fame often comes controversy, and the amapiano star has found himself at the center of some headline-grabbing rumours. From speculation about his personal life to a high-profile lawsuit, Stunna has become a subject of public scrutiny in recent months.
In an exclusive interview with TshisaLIVE, Young Stunna opened up about these controversies, providing his side of the story and revealing what’s really going on behind the headlines.
One of the most talked-about rumours surrounding Young Stunna was his alleged romantic life, with some suggesting he had been juggling multiple girlfriends. The star didn’t shy away from addressing it. “I was young. It’s not an excuse but I did. I’m happy I passed that. They caught me. I think I’d do it again. We still talk. I was only mad. It stopped but we cool. No grudges or fights,” he admitted, acknowledging the past while showing that there are no hard feelings.
Stunna also spoke about his current relationship status, revealing that he’s coming out of a two-year relationship. While he didn’t go into much detail about the breakup, it was clear that he’s moving forward and focusing on his career.
Another rumour that has made its way through the grapevine is speculation about Young Stunna’s sexuality. There were whispers suggesting that he might be gay, and while these rumours caused quite a stir, the amapiano star addressed them head-on. Stunna pointed to Tyler, The Creator as an inspiration for being unapologetically himself. “I admire Tyler, The Creator for how he expresses both his masculine and feminine sides, and for labeling himself as gay,” he shared, acknowledging the fluidity of identity and how it resonates with his own sense of self.
The conversation also touched on Stunna’s approach to his physical health, which plays a big role in his ability to perform at his best. “I don’t want to make mistakes when performing. It’s important for me to stay fit for when I’m on stage,” he explained, stressing the importance of fitness in maintaining the high-energy performances his fans have come to expect.
Spirituality is another area where Young Stunna reflects on his upbringing. He spoke about growing up in a very spiritual family, where cultural values were strongly embraced. This foundation, he says, has played a significant role in shaping who he is today.
Before his rise in amapiano, Young Stunna was deeply involved in hip-hop. He recalled how he lived with his producer for six months to finish his first hip-hop album in early 2020. “Hip-hop will always be there, and I still make hip-hop music because I have so much to say. Amapiano doesn’t allow me to express myself fully. It’s more about the chorus and the dance moves. But with hip-hop, I can really pour my heart out. Some amapiano beats actually reference hip-hop,” Stunna explained, hinting that his musical journey has always been about self-expression.
As for the future, Young Stunna teased fans with details about his upcoming second album, which is already generating excitement. He hinted at collaborations with major artists, including a feature with Sjava, and jokingly said, “When I drop, people must push their albums back because it’s going to be dangerous for them.”
With his talent, ambition, and unapologetic attitude, it’s clear that Young Stunna is here to stay. And as he continues to break boundaries in the music world, fans can expect even more from the rising star.
