Priddy Ugly’s Father’s Day Tribute Celebrates All Forms of Fatherhood
Priddy Ugly’s Father’s Day Tribute Celebrates All Forms of Fatherhood. South African rapper Priddy Ugly is once again showing that his artistry extends beyond the mic, using his platform to share a touching Father’s Day tribute that resonated deeply with fans across the country.
In a heartfelt social media post shared on Sunday, Priddy Ugly — real name Ricardo Moloi — penned a message of appreciation to fathers, as well as the unsung heroes who step up in the absence of paternal figures. His tribute reads:
“Happy Father’s Day to the dads, & moms who needed to play both parental roles. To brothers & uncles who needed [to] play the position of the fathers that weren’t present. You are appreciated.
Love.”
Accompanying the post was an intimate video clip of the rapper’s daughter, Afrika, a fan-favourite figure who often melts hearts on his social media. Known for his introspective lyrics and rooted sense of identity, Priddy Ugly has been vocal in the past about the importance of family and legacy.
This latest post continues that tradition, echoing sentiments that go beyond music to acknowledge the many different forms that fatherhood can take — biological or chosen. As conversations around fatherhood, masculinity, and emotional vulnerability continue to evolve in South Africa’s cultural landscape, artists like Priddy Ugly are helping to lead the charge, not just with bars but with heart.
