Damon: Should guys receive a #BoyfriendAllowance?
The hashtag #BoyfriendAllowance trended on Twitter this week and received mixed reactions (and memes) from many.
Listen as KZN reacts to the topic in the podcast then read more:

East Coast Drive’s Bongani Mtolo seemed to know all about it when I asked him, so I got him to spill the beans about what he thought about the practice.
When it trended, many took to Twitter to share their views and hilarious memes about the hashtag:
Imagine having 3 girlfriends and receiving a #BoyfriendAllowance from all?

Since #GirlfriendAllowance has been a thing for so long, do you think guys should be entitled to a #BoyfriendAllowance if our partners earn more than us?
