Your friends warn you about a guy they know is a PLAYA, what do you do? Take your girlfriends' word or taste the waters yourself?
Last night's star-studded episode covered this very topic:
Well-known rapper, Zuluboy played the role of the playa, Vukani aka Vukuvuku. Vukani is a poet and recording artist. He meets Sylvia during a poetry session at Speakers.
Sylvia, Ntando's girlfriend from the previous episode, has found work away from home, leaving her child with her mother. She now lives with friends Thandeka, played by model and songstress Phumeza and Mbali, the 15 year old from Zone 14.
Sylvia ignores her friends' warnings and ends up in bed with Vukani. The scene was rather interesting, as she insisted on using a condom but he was reluctant and asked her why she wasn't on contraceptives.
A while later, Vukani avoids Sylvia and uses the poetry he stole from her in his song. She forgives him and they sleep together again. In the meantime Vukani is busy entertaining another girl. Sylvia sees them in studio and Vukani's defense is that he doesn't do relationships.
Poor Sylvia is devastated. She knew her friends would eventually say: "
I TOLD YOU SO!!!"
So many songs came to mind when I watched this episode:
Eve - Love is blind
Lauryn Hill - Doo Wop (That thing)
Heather Headly - I wish I wasn't
Most of us ladies have gone through a similar experience or know someone who has. The fellows can also relate because if you weren't a playa, probably your buddies were(are).
