“Guys, Christopher has arrived, and I am not okay. He’s here in Joburg, and he could be literally 20 or 30 minutes away from me. I want to camp outside his hotel to see if I can spot him.

Backlash and Criticism
While many fans found the clip amusing, some critics took offense, accusing DJ Zinhle of having a romantic crush on Chris Brown and disrespecting her husband. Social media users debated the appropriateness of her comments, with some labeling her remarks as insensitive to her marriage.
The backlash quickly escalated, with individuals making assumptions about her relationship dynamics and questioning her intentions.
DJ Zinhle’s Response to the Controversy
Not one to shy away from addressing public scrutiny, DJ Zinhle took to social media to clarify her intentions behind the video. She emphasized that her admiration for Chris Brown was purely about his artistry and had no romantic undertones.
“It’s Chris Brown, and I am allowed. Everyone is allowed to fan over a male artist or a celebrity of the opposite sex without it being a sexual thing. When did you guys sexualise this whole thing with Chris Brown and me? Now people are saying I have a crush on him or that I’m disrespecting my person because I’m in love with Chris Brown. When did I say that?” she said.

Defending Her Marriage
DJ Zinhle also firmly requested that her husband’s name not be dragged into the conversation, reiterating that her video was innocent and lighthearted.
“Please, do not talk about my person; I am asking nicely. The Christopher thing was just me fanning over a guy. It’s admiration for his artistry, and I don’t have to explain that. You know Chris Brown is amazing. What are you doing, guys?” she said, addressing the critics.
Her response highlighted the broader issue of over-sexualizing admiration and the assumptions people make about celebrity fandoms.
Fans Rally in Support
Amid the criticism, DJ Zinhle’s supporters rallied behind her, defending her right to admire artists openly without judgment. Many fans pointed out the double standards women face in expressing admiration for male celebrities compared to men fawning over female stars.
“Honestly, this whole thing was blown out of proportion. She was just excited like any other fan. People need to relax,” one fan commented.
