While many are offering prayers for Dumelo and his family, some have raised questions about his decision to share the news on social media.
Among those expressing skepticism, Bongo Ideas questioned the timing and accused Dumelo of seeking attention and sympathy through this announcement on social media.
“Posting your parent after they’ve passed is subtly clout-chasing. Why are you using your mom’s passing to seek social media sympathy? – Bongo wrote in a twitter thread.

In another tweet, he also mentioned how GH Celebrities have previously claimed that social media users have little impact on their private lives, contrary to popular belief.
“These celebs always claim social media users have no bearing on their private lives, but they are quick to announce sad news. Is your mom’s passing not supposed to be another version of private matters?”
