With a cheeky opening, "POV: When your unemployed friend does random things during the week," the father of one explained that after his wife convinced him to quit his job, he was able to pursue his dream of being a content creator and stay-at-home dad.

"When people ask me what I do for a living, I tell them, 'I live life.'"

This was followed by a breakdown of his outfit for the day ahead of his trip to Sun City to celebrate his birthday.

His post comes at the height of online backlash surrounding the couple's marriage after City Makoti, real name Anika Dambuza, let the world in on the private details of her marriage, including the revelation that she was the one who funded their wedding and car.

While Sihle’s video was intended to project a sense of freedom and contentment, his "unemployed friend" joke backfired for some, providing fresh ammunition for critics who argue that his lifestyle further confirms the financial dynamic his wife previously shared.
