Anga “NaakMusiQ” Makubalo’s supposed fiancé Robyn Leigh has revealed she has called off their “engagement.” Robyn shared the news with her followers on Instagram on Monday as she celebrated her birthday. “Entering a new season and ending another, I am no longer engaged to Anga,” she wrote. In January this year, rumors of NaakMusiQ and Robyn being engaged spread across social media after she was spotted with a diamond rock on her ring finger.
The actor and musician’s manager Nyagunda Ngwenya previously said there was no truth to the rumors, while NaakMusiQ called it “fake news” on social media. A post of him allegedly claiming Robyn had bought the ring with her own money, and that she was allowed to do with it as she pleased, also went viral. In it, he allegedly said it was no one’s business where she wore her ring.

5. Ancelotti responds to fresh transfer links with Mbappe

Carlo Ancelotti has batted away fresh claims that Kylian Mbappe could join Real Madrid, insisting he is focused on his own in-form strike force. For much of the 2021-22 season, it looked as though the Frenchman would make the move to Santiago Bernabeu. However, he opted to stay in Paris at the eleventh hour, signing a two-year contract with the option of another year.
Ancelotti has been asked whether Madrid’s doors are still open to the World Cup winner. He replied at a press conference: “I give up! I give up with that question! To be honest, we’re excited about the forwards we have, above all the youngsters.” Mbappe has himself indicated that a potential switch to the Spanish capital remains in the back of his mind.
