Sizwe Alakine (Reason) speaks out after Father’s Day post sparks backlash! Amapiano artist and rapper Reason, also known by his alter ego Sizwe Alakine, has broken his silence after receiving criticism over a Father’s Day post that went viral for the wrong reasons.
Viral Image Leads to Unwanted Speculation
What began as a heartwarming moment turned sour when Reason shared a photo celebrating Father’s Day with his children.
Instead of being praised for his role as a present and loving dad, social media users accused him of fathering six children with three different women — one of whom is believed to be media personality Lootlove.

The image sparked a flurry of gossip, with many mocking him rather than acknowledging the positive message behind the post.
Setting the Record Straight
On Saturday, 28 June 2025, Reason took to X (formerly Twitter) to directly address the criticism. In a passionate post, he revealed that he has five children, not six — and clarified the identity of the additional child in the photo.
“Here’s the sad part. I have 5 kids. I posted 6 kids on my Father’s Day post because my daughter’s best friend was with us for Father’s Day,” he explained.
He added: “How do you F*****S think that little kid feels watching you clown me being there for her when her actual father couldn’t?? Like????”
Choosing Compassion Over Shame
While Reason did not disclose how many mothers his children have, he stood firm on one thing: his commitment to being a father and a father figure. The rapper made it clear that showing up for children — whether biological or not — is something that should never be a source of shame.
Fans have since rallied behind him, applauding his honesty and compassion.
