While the couple have remained mum on the matter, Msaki said she felt she needed to address the allegations because her reputation had been tainted.
In a recent sit-down on Podcast and Chill, the musician said she was taking a break from the spotlight to spend time with her kids as she had been “hurt by everything” that had transpired.
“It’s a story of a relationship ending. I don’t have anything to do with that relationship ending but I’m dragged in. Smash is a great guy. I have nothing to do with the end of his relationship and I’m just hurt,” she said.
The Fetch Your Life hitmaker said she was disheartened to see that “personal information” about her had come to light after being in the entertainment industry for 10 years and that no-one had come out to speak the truth.
“It hurts that I get caught up in a story... I wrote something from my heart and it ended up in the tabloids... we (Smash Africa and Msaki) were good for a while but it was just the disappointment too of, you could say, the truth.”
Msaki said she was learning to breathe through the pain.
“Thank you for everything. It’s all been a lesson. A painful one, but a lesson,” she wrote on social media.

Musician Asanda Mvana, popularly known as Msaki, has set the record straight on being labelled a "homewrecker".
Last November Sunday World reported that 5FM presenter Smash Afrika’s wife, Kefiloe Mdutyulwa, the daughter of actress Rami Chuene, had accused her husband of cheating on her with Msaki.
The newspaper alleged that Kefiloe had found an image of Smash Afrika and Msaki kissing, along with letters from the singer professing her love for him.
