A heated exchange between rising singer Naledi Aphiwe and veteran rapper Fifi Cooper has caught public attention after Naledi accused the rapper of stealing her iPhone worth R19,000. The drama unfolded through videos posted by both artists on social media, leaving fans divided.

Naledi’s Missing Phone Sparks Controversy

Naledi Aphiwe, who recently celebrated buying a new iPhone, claims the phone was stolen at a public event. In a video shared online, she said the incident occurred in a bathroom where she briefly interacted with a rapper — heavily implying it was Fifi Cooper. According to Naledi, her phone disappeared shortly after that interaction, and she claims the device was later tracked to Alexandra township, which added to her suspicion.

Naledi further alleged that Fifi’s behavior was suspicious, saying the rapper was “moving weird” as she exited the bathroom. Without directly naming her, Naledi suggested Fifi may have been involved in the theft.

Fifi Cooper Fires Back

Fifi Cooper responded strongly to the accusations. In her rebuttal video, she dismissed Naledi’s claims as baseless and disrespectful. She started by highlighting their age gap and questioning Naledi’s maturity. Fifi made it clear that she had no involvement in the incident and denied being the last to leave the venue.

“You are playing with fire, you will burn,” Fifi warned, visibly upset about being implicated without proof. She emphasized that many people were at the event and suggested Naledi may be using the controversy for attention.

Public Reacts: Mixed Opinions Online

Naledi’s claims quickly stirred a reaction on social media, with many users siding with Fifi Cooper. Some slammed Naledi for jumping to conclusions without concrete evidence. Others criticized her for damaging someone’s reputation without clear facts.

One user wrote, “This girl is disrespectful… she’s not even sure who took her phone but already pointed fingers at Fifi.” Another commenter added, “For the fact that she said she doesn’t remember if the phone was in her pocket, she’s got no right to accuse others.”

Despite the backlash, a few people defended Naledi, noting she never mentioned anyone by name in her video, though the implications were clear.

Naledi’s Controversial Public Image

This isn’t Naledi’s first time in the spotlight for the wrong reasons. Since being discovered by international artist Chris Brown, she’s faced criticism from fans and the media. In one incident, she was booed off stage, and in another, she received backlash for her comments about young girls marrying older men in the Shembe church.

Recently, Naledi posted a throwback photo with Chris Brown, saying she misses the singer and even cried thinking about him. She noted it was more a flex than a sentimental post.

Conclusion

With both artists standing firm in their positions, it remains to be seen if the issue will escalate further or be resolved. In the meantime, fans continue to debate the drama — with respect, evidence, and reputation at the center of the storm.
