Chelsea Hlomayi, the mother of rapper Holy Ten’s first son, has publicly accused the artist and his wife, Kim, of exploiting their sick child for the cover of his latest album, *Proud Father*. Released on October 14, 2024, the album features a cover photo of Holy Ten with his two sons, Mufaro and Mukudzeyi Junior, taken during a trip to Skate World in Borrowdale, Harare.
While many fans and fellow musicians praised Holy Ten for being present in the lives of both sons despite their different mothers, Hlomayi took to Facebook to express her outrage. She claimed that Holy Ten’s actions reflect a neglect of their child, whom she described as “sick.”
In her post, Hlomayi stated, “It’s very unfortunate that you would choose to exploit a sick child for content. A child you have neglected since he was born.” She criticized Holy Ten for using their son as a marketing tool, saying, “Can I ‘borrow’ him for a few hours to do the album cover?” She emphasized that although she initially accepted the album cover being done, she found the surrounding context troubling.

Hlomayi accused Holy Ten and Kim of prioritizing their public image over their son’s well-being, expressing her frustration over what she perceives as inauthentic behavior. “This child would rather use my son to boost her image than to actually show up and show love in real life,” she wrote, questioning their intentions.
The post culminated in a call for authenticity, as Hlomayi implored them to “be a good person in real life” rather than projecting a false image for marketing purposes. She concluded, “My son is not a prop!”
The accusations have ignited discussions on social media about parental responsibilities, the impact of public personas, and the ethics of using children in promotional material. As the situation develops, it raises important questions about the intersection of personal lives and public representation in the entertainment industry.
