For over three decades, Lebo M, the South African composer and producer behind The Lion King’s iconic sound, has stood as a symbol of African excellence, resilience, and cultural pride. From the streets of Soweto to Broadway’s grandest stages, his artistry has moved millions worldwide.
Truth vs. Tabloid
Despite his global acclaim, Lebo M’s personal life has frequently been distorted by tabloid sensationalism. One of the most persistent falsehoods is that he has been married 10 times.
Let’s correct the record: Lebo M has been married four times, with only two marriages legally registered in South Africa. These are facts backed by official Home Affairs certificates.
Setting the record straight on Lebo M
“The ongoing lie about 10 marriages needs to stop,” Lebo M stated. “There are four marriage certificates. I’ve experienced love, loss, and growth like many others.”
Beyond the Headlines
In today’s viral, clickbait-driven culture, public figures are often stripped of their humanity. The #10Marriages myth not only trivialises a deeply personal part of his journey, but also reinforces damaging stereotypes.
This isn’t just about public image—it’s about respect and dignity.
Honouring the Truth During Youth Month
As South Africa commemorates Youth Month and the legacy of June 16, a moment when the youth fought for truth and justice, we are reminded of the power of challenging false narratives.
To honour the spirit of that generation, we must reject misinformation and allow icons like Lebo M to be seen in truth and wholeness.
He is more than rumours—he is an artist, a father, and a South African whose global impact deserves recognition, not ridicule.
