Marriage/Relationship/Leaked Bedroom Tape with Shashl
Dj Levels was once married to Dev Sando and they have a son together. Not much is known about their relationship, however, they are reported to have separated.
Last year, Dj Levels made headlines after he was romantically linked to Shashl, the daughter of former Health Minister Obadiah Moyo.
The two dated for over a year, but their relationship ended in November 2022, when Shashl accused Levels of ra_ping and physically abusing her. She also claimed that he leaked a se_x tape of them without her consent, violating the Data Protection Act. Levels denied the allegations and was released on $20 000 bail, pending his trial in January 2023.
However, the new video, which appears to be recorded by Shashl herself, shows a different side of their relationship. The two are seen cudd_ling and kissing each other tenderly as if nothing had happened between them. The video has sparked mixed reactions from their fans and followers, who are wondering if they have reconciled or if they are playing games with each other and the public.
Some have expressed their support and admiration for the couple, saying that they are still in love and that they should sort out their issues privately. Others have criticized them for being irresponsible and insensitive, especially to the victims of ra_pe and domestic violence. Some have also questioned the authenticity and timing of the video, suggesting that it might be a publicity stunt or a way of influencing the outcome of the case.
Whatever the case may be, Levels and Shashl have certainly captured the attention of many people with their romantic video. Whether it is a sign of genuine affection or a calculated move, only time will tell.
Arrest
In 2020, Dj Levels and his co-accused Dj Fantan and Dj Ribhe were arrested for violating Covid-19 regulations. This comes after they hosted a New Year’s Eve party in Mbare.
He was also arrested in 2022 after his ‘ex-girlfriend’ Shashl accused him of rape.
