Priddy Ugly and Bontle's fake engagement angers fans
Updated | By Tamlyn Canham
Bontle Modiselle and Priddy Ugly's engagement and wedding publicity stunt gets a thumbs down from fans.
TV personality Bontle Modiselle has been forced to apologise to her fans after "faking" her engagement and wedding to rapper Priddy Ugly.
The couple's fans could not contain their excitement a few weeks ago when they posted pictures on Instagram of what appeared to be their engagement.
A few days later Bontle shared a picture of the pair dressed in traditional wedding attire.
That was soon followed by a picture of their white wedding.
Scores of her followers congratulated her on her marriage, despite Bontle being vague in the captions about the details of their union.
A few days ago, it was revealed that it was all one big publicity stunt for La Sauce's new music video, 'I Do'. B
As if that was not bad enough, Bontle now says that the couple won't be saying "I do" in real life anytime soon.
Her fans are less than impressed with the stunt, with many saying they feel played.
"Bontle and Priddy Ugly are defs the biggest scammers of 2017. Wow," one Twitter user posted.
Rapper Riky Rick was just as annoyed.
"So you saying the wedding wasn’t real? Cmon fam," he commented on one of Priddy Ugly's posts about the video.

Bontle took to Instagram following the backlash to apologise to her followers, telling her followers they should take comfort in knowing that they are still a happy couple.
Eh?
"Apologies to those who feel disappointed right now but we hope you find solace in us being together and happy," she wrote.
Priddy Ugly reposted her apology, while plugging the new music video. Shameless!
It's not the fist time a rapper has used his love life to promote an upcoming video. Earlier this year, AKA and Bonang faked their break-up to create buzz around his new track, 'Caiphus Song'.
"If there's a question of my heart, you've got it. It don't belong to anyone but you." 💎 👑 x 👑
