Amid reports that her marriage to businessman Nzuzo Njilo is in trouble, socialite and rapper Faith Nketsi has defended herself after a cosy photo of her and fellow rapper Leslie “Da L.E.S” Mampe went viral on Wednesday, 15 March.
Da L.E.S is pictured hugging Faith Nketsi from behind while standing next to fellow rappers L.Tido and K.O. The photo was taken at the Love and Hip Hop SA cast members’ All White Pool Party over the weekend.
Although Da L.E.S shared several images from the event, it was the one with Faith Nketsi that sparked the most interest. Da L.E.S is seen with his arm around her again in another image of the four rappers shared by SETE hitmaker K.O.

ARE THE NJILOS HEADED FOR A DIVORCE?
Pics of rappers Faith Nketsi and Da L.E.S come a few days after City Press reported that the Have Faith star moved out of her matrimonial home in Hyde Park, Johannesburg, three weeks ago.
The couple wed in April last year and welcomed their daughter, Sky Njilo, in the same year.
Fans started speculating that there was trouble in paradise when the influencer dropped her husband’s surname on Instagram.
A close friend revealed to the publication that Nketsi has returned to her old job as a hostess in popular nightclubs to make ends meet.
“She moved out about three weeks ago. She left Njilo and has gone back to hosting in clubs again with her friend Kim Kholiwe and making money. Just a few days ago, she was hosting at Booth Night Club, and she has put herself out there once again for the work that she used to do before she got married,” said the friend.
Another friend alleged that the couple was going through financial trouble. Njilo is reportedly entangled in a legal battle with two of his business partners and he owns them close to R1 million.
The source further claimed that the couple had to sell the media personality’s Jeep to settle the debt.
