From all the baby mama drama to shading his estranged husband, here's five bombshells from Living the Dream with Somizi.

1. SOMIZI SAYS SEX LIFE WITH MOHALE WASN'T GREAT' The media personality headed straight into his failed marriage and divorce on the first episode of the fifth season of Living the Dream with Somizi.
I was dealing with someone who had issues with sex or I don't know what you call it. I try to find ways of making it work. The sex life was dead. I still stayed but I said to him let's find other ways. Either we could go for sex therapy - he did not want to go because he was in denial of the fact that our sex life wasn't great, he said.

2. BABY MAMA' PALESA REVEALS SOMIZI DIDN'T PAY DAMAGES FOR BAHUMI Somizi and actress Palesa Madisakwane share 26-year-old daughter Bahumi Mhlongo. Palesa revealed that Somizi did not pay damages for Bahumi on the fifth season of the series.
--
She said that she kept quiet when Somizi married Mohale Motaung because he had multiple weddings without paying damages.
He decided to go pay lobola and have multiple weddings without paying damages for my child. So, I just stood back and observed, she said.

THE MEDIA PERSONALITY SHADES UNATHI Somizi Mhlongo performed a traditional ceremony on the season finale of his reality series. He said he would proudly show off his goat skin bracelet when he returns to Idols SA.
--
I start shooting Idols next week, I'm going to show this off (traditional bracelet), he said.
Somizi was then asked why he got others fired by what appears to be a family member. This was most likely in reference to Unathi Nkayi and Randall Ambrahams exit from the singing competition. The media personality then said he was quiet while they attacked him and it was his mom - veteran actress Mary Twala that fought for him.
It was my mother, not me. It's beyond my control. My mother told me not to fight, she will do it for me, he said as a screenshot of an article introducing Thembi Seete and JR as the new judges appeared on screen.
My god said do not revenge. Do not avenge. Be quiet, I will revenge for you. They attacked me and I was quiet. One by one watch them drop like this. This time I didn't even do anything to them, he continued.
4. BAHUMI WANTS TO CHANGE HER SURNAME Somizi has a 26-year-old daughter with actress Palesa Madisakwane, named Bahumi. Bahumi sat down with her mom for a semi serious talk.
Bahumi explained that she wants to change her surname from Madisakwane to Somizi's surname - Mhlongo. Palesa explained that the main reason Bahumi wasn't given the Mhlongo surname was that things were not done correctly, culturally.

5. SOMIZI CALLS MOHALE A CON ARTIST, ROBBER, MONEY HEIST' After Somizi claimed that Mohale wanted 50% of his estate, he called him a con artist, robber and money heist.
You don't just walk into someone else's life, do nothing and expect to leave with everything. That is you're a con artist, you're a shoplifter, you're a robber. Actually, there's another one, money heist, he said.
