South African DJ and radio personality Lamiez Holworthy-Morule finally opened up about her relationship with her dad, Sello Chicco Twala. Speaking with DJ Fresh on the WAW What A Week Podcast on 31 January 2025, Lamiez revealed how people found out that 62-year-old Twala was her biological father.

This was after Lamiez posted pictures from her son Leano Laone’s Christening celebration, attended by close friends and the Umbala Ma G-String hitmaker himself. The pair posed for a picture together, thus igniting a raging debate about their relationship, from uncle to cousin, and even lovers.

Lamiez, who is married to rapper Khuli Chana, claims she once warned her dad about their relationship being taken out of context after spending the day together in one of Johannesburg’s most affluent suburbs, Melrose.

“My dad gets calls, ‘Hi, we’d like to confirm whether or not you’re having an affair with DJ Lamiez.’ We were spotted in Melrose, just the two of us, and I said to him, ‘Papa, the way these people are looking at us, they’ll assume that we’re dating.’ But he dismissed me.”

She revealed that it was only after her mother was contacted that she decided to get ahead of the drama and post her viral picture with Twala on social media.

Officially confirming their relationship, the DJ alluded to having done DNA tests, which revealed conclusively that Twala was 99.9% her father.

“That’s my dad, such a cool guy. I am so blessed to get to connect with him now. “As painful as it was not growing up with him, and going through what I did knowing he would have helped, I don’t think I would have been who I am if things were any different.”
