Lexi Van takes a stand! 'I refuse to be a struggling artist trying to make it'

Reality check! TV star Lexi van Niekerk wants you to know that just because you are on TV doesn't make you rich or a celebrity.

Lexi, who found fame as a reality star, has been on several TV projects over the last few years and took to Twitter recently to clear the air on a few misconceptions people might have.

Why does some people think that being on TV pays a lot of money?

She added that there were many people who have appeared on TV but were still seriously broke...but she ain't about that life.

• White people used HHP, says NtsikiNtsiki Mazwai feels that white people have drained the swag out of our African brothers and took to Twitter to vent about rappers. 

"I refuse to be a 'struggling artist' trying to make it. Been there. Done it. Didn't like it!" she wrote.

Lexi has tried her hand at several projects since appearing on Big Brother Mzansi and Mandla and Lexi and told her followers that she respects people who hustle.

"I respect everyone that's getting their hustle on. What annoys me are people thinking some of us are balling out here," she added.

So next time you see Lexi in the street, please don't ask her to share the coins because she's clearly not guaped.
