Reasons leading to their split are still unknown.

GOSPEL stars Jumbo Nyangiwe and Lungelo Hlongwane turn their backs against each other.

This is after the duo had a good working relationship, performing together in many of Jumbo's gigs.

Jumbo then adopted Lungelo to promote him with the aim to reclaim his spot in the gospel music space in 2025.

In many events when people saw Jumbo they automatically thought they would also see Lungelo as the two powerful performers worked together.

Now, all that has changed and left many fans asking questions about why they are no longer performing together like before.

The notable moment that raised eyebrows was Lungelo's no-show at Jumbo's birthday celebration at Jumbo's home in Umzikhulu, KZN south coast on Tuesday, 10 February.

The event was attended by many top gospel and maskandi gospel musicians.

Reasons leading to the split are still unknown.

Lungelo (26) from Umlazi, south of Durban, is known for his hit song, Qhubeka, said he does not have a beef with Jumbo but decided to go solo.

"It's not like we had a fight or something bad but I'm the one who decided to withdraw and work my way.

"I was not part of Jumbo's birthday celebration because I was busy with other commitments, but it doesn't mean I have beef with him," he said.

Lungelo performed solo during the Accident Prayer session held at the Adams Sport Ground in Adams south of Durban on Friday, 20 February.

Jumbo has also performed in many events, including former Ukhozi FM presenter Mandla Magwaza's memorial and funeral services without Lungelo

He is preparing for his live one-man show performance at The Playhouse in Durban on 28 February.

He asked not to comment on the matter.
