Local actress Bontle Modiselle has cleared the air after a Twitter user used her as an example of how to "build a man".
On Tuesday, Twitter user @Its_Khaya_ decided to advise people currently dating a Lawrence (Jay Ellis) type from season one of "Insecure".
Using Kwesta and his wife Yolanda Mvelase, along with Bontle and Priddy Ugly's relationships as examples, @Its_Khaya_ explained the benefits of being a ride-or-die partner.
The post said: "Kwesta started dating he's wife when he was still a nobody. Bontle modisella used to pay for Priddy ugly's studio when Priddy was still broke.
"Lesson behind this: ladies build your man and grind & hustle with him, believe in his dreams regardless of his background and his situation. (sic)"

Tweeps got a kick out of the post, especially the "build your man" portion.
Men should make a habit of building themselves, women aren't here to play bob-the-builder like that's a fertilizer for relationship stability

Ladies, run, I repeat run from men who need building. On top of the shit 2020 is throwing, you have to worry about the roofing & plumbing needs of a man you’re ‘building’. Sometimes buying a turn key house is better than buying a fixer upper to renovate.

Ladies build yourself first before building a Man. Both of these ladies have careers.

There is no lesson here, just because the two of them have grown together doesn't mean other will too. Kwesta is an individual & not everyman. Invest in people who are worth investing, not the type that believes it's entitled to hand outs...

Following Modiselle catching stray bullets due to the post, she also responded and said: "Terrible analogy. Awful advice."
