A new trend, which was seemingly started by an American TikToker called Pinkydoll, sees people doing livestream videos of themselves making strange sounds and behaving like a video game NPC, or non-playable character. In return, those tuned in to the live send virtual gifts (i.e. monetary tokens) to the streamers. A few weeks earlier, SA musician Dr Malinga has joined in.

A short clip of the singer behaving like a NPC has been shared on Twitter and garnered hilarious reactions from locals who commended his hustling spirit. And now it looks like he is taking things up a notch after wearing a wig and dress.

The duo ended their relationship amid allegations of domestic abuse and affair on Katlego’s part. But while life seemingly returned to normal for Kat after his comeback in 2022, his ex claims that hers was a living hell.Following their messy split, Monique Muller applied for a protection order against Katlego Maboe. She would also pursue domestic violence charges against her celebrity ex in a lengthy lawsuit.

Kat countersued Monique, her brother, and two other parties for R1 million each, alleging they “ruined” his career. He also demanded that all parties apologise and retract their allegations.

In 2022, Monique’s lawsuit was “set aside” by mutual agreement. Katego returned to his position as Expresso host in August, following a bombshell “tell all.”

But between their split and his TV return, Monique claims things were rough.

She shared in an Instagram Story: “I didn’t claim for any spousal maintenance. I walked away with nothing but two beds and a washing machine.

“My son and I were homeless. We had to move in with family.

“Even though the court said that he has to keep us in the apartment for the next six months, obviously, because our son was a baby..he and his attorney went and had given immediate notice at our apartment.

“And so my son and I were evicted, and we didn’t have anywhere to go. And this was all while y’all were thinking this was your superhero of the year while he had his baby mama and son out on the street.”

Monique also claims that during one particularly rough patch, she had asked Katlego to send his son extra food and help with electricity.

She posted: “He did nothing. He just posts Bible quotes.”

The South African contacted Katlego for comment. None was received at the time of publishing.
