WATCH | ‘The pain you’re feeling is temporary!’ – Priddy Ugly tells his followers to stay strong

Cape Town – Award-winning rapper Ricardo “Priddy Ugly” Moloi took to Instagram over the weekend to share pearls of wisdom to his multitude of followers whom he encouraged to “to stay strong”.

Priddy Ugly said that daily life and social media put pressure on people to make it seem as if they have it all figured out.

“The pain you’re feeling is temporary, it’s not going to last forever. The dead ends you find yourself in are opportunities to reroute and take another direction, the doors slamming in your face are not rejections, they simply say not right now,” he wrote.

“You need to give yourself time to heal. Even with the scars that remain, may they be reminders of where we come from. May they remind you that you are strong. Life puts pressure, social media puts pressure, don’t find yourself not worthy of living. Find the light within you and spread that light. Pick yourself up, grab a helping hand. You are loved and you are worthy of life. Hang in there,” said Priddy Ugly.
