South African timelines never stay quiet for long, especially when two headline makers end up in the same sentence. This week, influencer and DJ Cyan Boujee found herself trending after whispers began spreading that she might be expecting a child with amapiano heavyweight DJ Maphorisa.
Instead of letting the speculation grow legs, she chose to speak up and deal with it directly.
A rumour that snowballed online
The chatter appears to have picked up after she paused or reduced her DJ bookings, which some social media users interpreted as a sign that something bigger was happening behind the scenes. In true Mzansi fashion, the theory quickly moved from comment sections to full-blown gossip.
Cyan Boujee responded publicly and made it clear that she is not pregnant. She dismissed the claims and insisted that the story doing the rounds is simply not true. In her response, she also suggested that while people may assume she could consider dating DJ Maphorisa for financial security, having a child with him is not something she would entertain.
That blunt honesty is very much on brand for the influencer, who has built a reputation for saying exactly what she thinks, even when it lands her in hot water.
The relationship rumours that keep resurfacing
Speculation linking Cyan Boujee and DJ Maphorisa is not new. The two have been associated with each other in entertainment circles before, and any time they are seen in the same space or mentioned together, the internet tends to fill in the blanks on its own.
In South Africa’s celebrity culture, friendships and collaborations often get interpreted as romance long before anyone confirms anything. That pattern played out again here, with pregnancy talk becoming the latest twist.

Social media had plenty to say
As expected, online reactions were split. Some fans defended her, saying people are too quick to jump to conclusions about women in the public eye. Others treated the situation like typical celebrity drama, turning it into memes and commentary threads.
The episode is another reminder of how quickly personal narratives can be created online, sometimes from very little information. For influencers whose careers live on social platforms, shutting down misinformation has almost become part of the job description.
A familiar cycle in Mzansi pop culture
Pregnancy rumours are one of the oldest tricks in the gossip playbook, especially when a female celebrity’s routine changes or when she is linked to a high-profile partner. Over the years, several local personalities have had to address similar claims, often sparked by nothing more than cancelled appearances or a viral photo.
Cyan Boujee’s response fits into that wider pattern. By confronting the story head-on, she prevented it from spiralling further and reminded followers that not every trending topic has real substance behind it.
For now, the only confirmed update is simple. She says she is not pregnant, and the rest is just noise from the rumour mill.
