Tsekeleke's girlfriend spoke out about the star's weight
Just before he celebrated his 40th, Tsekeleke's woman, Black Cat, spoke out that she had not been happy in their relationship for some time, in July 2025.
According to Daily Sun, the reality TV star's lover, whose real name is Mathapelo Kanyane, complained about how much bigger her dancer boyfriend has gotten over the past few months.
She reportedly mentioned this in the pilot episode of the TikTok star's new show, Lose It or Lose Me, saying Tsekeleke (Mixon Tholo)'s massive physique is weighing heavily on her as he can't fend for himself anymore:
"He wasn't this big when I met him. Now, he has gained more weight. He can't wear his shoes or put on his socks; I have to do that for him. His only job is to wake up and take a bath, and even that I help him with."

Meanwhile, the couple faced more than just Tseki's weight gain. Entertainment commentator, Bonang Lena, revealed that Black Cat Girl allegedly left with her man's car and won't give it back. On the other hand, Tsekeleke has allegedly moved on with someone else and claims Black Cat Girl used a love potion on him.
