DJ Dimplez is a famous South African DJ. Since entering the music entertainment industry, he has pushed himself to the top of his career with focus and persistence.
Shortly before his first interview on Channel O, he remembered his current stage name. It was also nominated for Music Video of the Year at the South African Music Awards.

Although little is known about his childhood, he was gifted with music from an early age. During his studies at Wits University, he switched from business studies to sports psychology. Because he finds it more important to follow your passion than to pursue money.
Since DJ Dimplez likes the hip-hop genre, he started to improve his skills. In doing so, he joined the Wits DJ Society, hoping to find gigs at student parties and local clubs. From there he founded the Pop Bottle Movement. According to DJ Dimplez, the idea came when he was planning a birthday party.
South African hip-hop DJ Dimplez has finally broken his silence after being embroiled in an alleged sex scandal involving a Northern Cape woman.
In a statement posted on his official social media page, DJ Dimplez, real name Tumi Mooi, said: “I have noticed various social media posts and allegations by Ms Mamdiarah ‘Kinky’ Diakoumpa.
“On the advice of my legal representative, I do not wish to raise this matter further on social media or any other public platform. Nor do I have the authority to do so as this is the responsibility of the competent authorities.”
In the unfolding saga, the woman claimed she was pregnant with his child after a sleepover at the Sandton hotel.
Meanwhile, DJ Dimplez thanked the many South Africans who had gathered behind him following the news on social media.
