‘She was more into content’ – Rough Diamond on relationship with Nonku

Nonku Williams’s ex, Rough Diamond, has reportedly spilt the tea on his relationship with The Real Housewives of Durban star, sharing that she was more into content than their actual relationship.

On 22 February, Rough Diamond, whose real name is Dumisani Ndlazi, shared on social media that he had taken legal action against Nonku after she allegedly uttered defamatory statements about him.

Previously speaking to ZiMoja, Nonku alleged that her ex had scammed her and stole material from her business site worth R300,000. “I was in love. I mixed my business with pleasure, and I regret it but I also learned my lesson,” said Nonku.

Rough Diamond denied the allegations against him, sharing a copy of the letter of demand addressed to Nonku from his lawyer.

Still on a path to proclaiming his innocence, Rough Diamond also spoke to the above-mentioned publication. “Why is she not taking me to court or opening a criminal case if I stole from her?” he asked.

Stating that Nonku was allegedly drowning in debt when he met her, Rough Diamond added, “I had to pay the workers from my own pocket when I first met her. She did not have money. I am challenging her to release any form of proof that says I stole money from her.” The businessman also told ZiMoja that the reality TV star was consumed by content. “She wanted to get married after she was promised her own show. I was in it for love, but it seems like she was more into content than the relationship.”

Rough Diamond further alleged that Nonku was controlling. “I felt like I was the girlfriend and not the other way around. She wanted things done her way,” he says, adding that she was excited about being a celebrity and had elements of being delusional.

When asked by ZiMoja if reconciliation was on the cards, Rough Diamond replied, “Never. That chapter is closed. I walked away for a reason. There is no real man who can stand her and her controlling ways. She is too much of a crowd pleaser.”
