In the world of celebrity romance, few couples are as celebrated as Priddy Ugly and Bontle Modiselle. However, a recent appearance on Lasizwe’s hit show, Awkward Dates, has sparked a heated online debate regarding gender roles and relationship dynamics.
The “Dust2Dust” rapper dropped a bombshell during the episode, admitting that in his entire life, he has never asked a woman out—a streak that includes his own wife.
She Asked Me: A Playful Confession
During the playful and flirtatious interview, Priddy revealed that it was actually the world-renowned choreographer and dancer, Bontle, who initiated their romantic journey.
- The Dynamic: The couple appeared deeply in sync on the show, using the revelation to highlight the organic and unconventional nature of their long-standing union.
- The “Prize” Narrative: Priddy’s admission that he has never been the “pursuer” in his dating life framed him as a man comfortable with women taking the lead—a sentiment Bontle seemed to back with her relaxed demeanor during the shoot.
The Internet Weighs In
While fans of the couple praised their authenticity, “Black Twitter” (X) was quick to dissect the confession, with opinions ranging from cynical to cautionary.
- The Career Critics: Some users took a swipe at Priddy’s professional life, suggesting that his reliance on Bontle’s initiative is a reflection of their power dynamic. One viral post claimed, “He’s just clinging to her fame, family, and support.”
- The Traditionalists: The confession reignited a debate on gender roles, with some women expressing that such admissions are exactly why they refuse to pursue men. “They will always remind you that they are the prize,” one user warned.
- The “TMI” Factor: Other viewers felt the rapper shares this specific anecdote too frequently, comparing him to US producer Benny Blanco for “over-sharing” details about his partner’s obsession with him.
