Bontle Modiselle has addressed the ongoing criticism regarding her role as the main provider in her marriage to rapper Priddy Ugly.
The choreographer and media figure appeared with her husband on the most recent episode of L-Tido’s podcast, where their financial dynamic was discussed.
The show’s host inquired about Modiselle’s feelings on being labeled the breadwinner, a narrative that has gained traction online.
In reply, Bontle stated that she feels no negativity about supporting her family, noting that marriage evolves through various stages.
She mentioned that during times when her husband encounters financial difficulties, she readily assists, and when his situation improves, he reciprocates.
For Modiselle, a successful partnership is characterized by mutual assistance rather than strictly defined gender expectations.
She emphasized that financial ability alone does not determine a quality partner.
According to her, a man may possess wealth but can still fall short as a husband and father.
In her view, a partner should contribute emotional support, guidance, and reliability to the marriage.
A clip of the discussion quickly gained traction online, igniting significant debate.
While some praised the couple’s pragmatic approach to marriage, others voiced strong opposition.
One user on X remarked, “This is not how it was meant to be. The pride of a men is in providing for his family. I don’t care what anyone say. Come for me, I can send you location if you want to discuss this further over coffee.”
Another user stated, “This is a real woman, not the other ones abo indoda must , must for what.”
Additionally, a third commentator noted, “People here will still find fault with this relationship. It is like they are trying to close the parts of their childhood that were not perfect by projecting their issues to others.”
