I took a break in 2025,\u201d he said. \u201cWifey was pregnant. We just got a new home, and I\u2019ve been settling in. We\u2019re trying to end off my last record label situation, so that I could start 2026 on a fresh slate. If anyone feels like 2025 was crazy, 2026 is gonna be hectic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The year marked significant milestones for Ricardo Moloi and his wife, media personality and choreographer Bontle Modiselle.<\/p>\n<p>The couple welcomed their second child, expanding their growing family while also transitioning into a new home.<\/p>\n<p>For the rapper, fatherhood and family life required a shift in pace.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of chasing every opportunity, he chose to be more present, building a foundation that would support both his personal life and long-term ambitions.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, he has been working to conclude existing contractual obligations, positioning himself to enter 2026 with greater control over his career.<\/p>\n<p>Independence, he hinted, is central to the next phase.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI felt like my whole life, I\u2019ve been focused on my creative bag. I\u2019m trying to really get more into my business bag,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 4 -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Priddy #Ugly #reveals #slowed #reset #powerful #comeback<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; Priddy Ugly opens up on his 2026 plans While many fans viewed 2025 as one of Priddy Ugly\u2019s strongest&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":49767,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-49766","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mzansi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49766","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49766"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49766\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":49768,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49766\/revisions\/49768"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/49767"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49766"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49766"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=49766"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
