Skolopad sex talk dilemma

- By CHRIZELDA KEKANA

DESPITE often sparking conversati­ons around sex and nudity‚ Skolopad has revealed that she doesn’t have the guts to have the “the birds and the bees” talk with her teenage daughter.

The controvers­ial musician‚ whose name has become synonymous with risqué poses and semi-nude pictures‚ explained that she’s hesitant to start the conversati­on.

“As a mother‚ I am very different from Skolopad. People don’t know that about me. Skolopad is free and she says and does whatever she feels like.

“But Nonhlanhla is a different woman.” The single mom said she was grateful that her daughter was a “well-behaved” teenager‚ but they were also friends.

She said she was sure her daughter would come to her if there was a pressing issue of any kind.

“My daughter is a teenager.. – a very wellbehave­d teenager. We haven’t actually had a conversati­on about sex.

“I mean‚ as a nurse‚ I’ve mentioned things like protection and the sicknesses we see daily there, but I’m actually hesitant to start that conversati­on about sex.”

Some of her fans took to social media to comment on one of her pictures and questioned the effect some of her stunts may have on her daughter.

Skolopad told the Dispatch that people needed to mind their own business.

“I don’t talk much‚ so she must just observe and take the things that work for her. What matters for me is she knows that there’s a difference between Skolopad and her mother.

“As a mother‚ I act as such and she knows it. I‚ as Skolopad‚ am crazy and so naughty‚ but she knows who she would be looking at for advice and stuff.”
