Mlindo The Vocalist, whose real name is Lindokuhle Mgedezi, has broken his silence on abuse allegations made by his estranged girlfriend Taylor-Jo Allison on social media.

On Thursday Taylor-Jo went viral after taking to her Instagram stories alleging that the AmaBlesser hitmaker assaulted her. “Mlindo the Vocalist is a fraud. He beat me up,” she wrote.

She went on to allege that the singer has been promiscuous and caused her to get infected.

Addressing the allegations, Mlindo, through his manager, shared a statement refuting the claims. He said he has suffered ”emotional and physical pain” in the relationship.

“I would like to state that I strongly deny all accusations of being an abusive partner. These claims are deeply hurtful and do not reflect the truth of my character or the values I stand for,” he said.

“For a long time I have remained silent out of respect for the relationship and in the hope of resolving matters privately. However, it has now reached a point where my silence is being misinterpreted. I feel it is important to share that I have also endured emotional and physical pain and other challenges within the relationship, which I chose not to publicise.

“It is unfortunate that false narratives are being spread in a manner that seeks to damage my name, reputation and brand. I have worked hard to build my career and connect positively with my supporters and I will not allow misinformation to define me.

“I remain committed to handling this matter with dignity and respect, and I trust that the truth will come to light in due course. I kindly ask for understanding and privacy during this time.”
