Bontle Modiselle and Ricardo “Priddy Ugly” Moloi, often known as Lovebirds, are two peas in a pod. In January of last year, the two started a combined Instagram account, and now they’ve launched a YouTube channel named Ha Moloi.
The pair tells their love story and how they met 13 years ago in their debut video.
They began by saying, “We started off as pals,” then Priddy Ugly revealed how Bontle made the first move.
We were pals for around two years, starting when I was sixteen. Then, at the end of my matric year, a young attractive lady approached me and asked me out “said the rapper.
He resumed the love story by recalling how the two met after a girl he was dating passed away.
“About a week-and-a-half or two weeks after Lerato passed away I was watching an episode of Jika Majika at my grandmother’s house in Soweto with my younger sister, and that was the first time I had seen her. Ironically, I had heard about her in school and thought she was cute when I saw her on TV. Fast-forward to weeks after that where I attended an event called Masters of Rhythm and I really wanted to go there because I knew she was going to be there. But once I was there, I didn’t get to ask for her number or approach her.”
