Malaika suggested that she doesn’t care much about a man who checks on her emotional well-being but expects financial security and for her man to drop bucks on her without question:
"I don't want a man who will ask about my mom; I want a man who will ask, 'Baby, how much is your rent? How much should I send you?' A man who just gives you money without you having to ask, the man of the house. You understand?"
Malaika Mazwai claps back at troll
Briefly News reported that Malaika Mazwai clapped back at a troll after they threw shade at her sexuality.
Mzansi loved Malaika and cheered her on for always standing on business. This was after a social media user did some digging and found that Malaika is homosexual.
Malaika wasn't for the slander and clapped back at the social media user.
