Jay Jody Seals His Forever With Longtime Love Tshidi
Jay Jody Seals His Forever With Longtime Love Tshidi. South African rapper Jay Jody—known for painting raw emotion with every bar—has just written his most beautiful verse yet: marriage.
In a heartwarming revelation shared on social media, the rapper posted a simple but soul-stirring message: “I love you to life” ❤️♾️💍—marking the celebration of his union with longtime partner, Tshidi Mataboge.
The couple, who have been quietly building their love story away from the limelight, officially tied the knot this past weekend, bringing a love narrative full circle that began with cultural tradition earlier this year. Back on January 18th, 2025, Tshidi shared an emotional Instagram post after the successful lobola negotiations, calling it a “promise kept.”
In her heartfelt letter addressed to “Ntate Mataboge” (Jay Jody), she poured out the depth of their connection:
“Our story is one of unwavering devotion, a tale of a love so pure it has transformed me… Thank you for being my soft landing when the world feels unsteady, my safe haven where I find peace, and my partner in every sense of the word.”
The letter read like vows before vows—one of the many beautiful foreshadowings of their official wedding ceremony months later. Now donning the title of Mrs. Mataboge, Tshidi’s public declaration mirrored Jody’s own understated but powerful sentiment. And in just four words, “I love you to life,” Jay Jody affirmed a lifetime commitment that goes beyond love as a feeling, anchoring it as a way of living.
Fans and fellow artists have since flooded the comment sections with congratulations, praising the rapper for embracing love with such openness and maturity. While the music may always be part of Jay Jody’s legacy, it’s clear that this love story may be his most timeless composition yet.
