Lusaka, Zambia – February 22, 2025. Popular Zambian rapper, Slapdee and his wife Matakala Lubinda, fondly known as Bana Nandi, have officially announced their separation. The news was shared by Matakala in a heartfelt Instagram post, where she opened up about their decision to part ways.
She wrote on her Instagram:
“Never met anyone that has gone into marriage with the intention of divorcing. We all get married in hopes to grow old with our loved ones. Life happens and we then take a different path. Me and Slapdee have both decided to go our separate ways because life has happened and it’s beyond our control. As I navigate life as a single mum of two now, I’d really appreciate if everyone respected this decision we have made. I wish him all the best as he moves on with his life.”
The announcement has taken fans by surprise, as the couple had been known for keeping their private life away from the public eye. Their decision, however, appears to be amicable, with both parties focusing on moving forward while co-parenting their two children.
Notably, this is the second time the couple is parting ways. The first one being in about over 10 years ago. Slapdee, known for his influential career in Zambian music, has yet to publicly comment on the separation.
As they transition into new phases of their lives, the couple has requested privacy and respect from the public during this time.
More details may emerge in the coming days, but for now, fans continue expressing shock and sending their well wishes to both Slapdee and Bana Nandi.
