A man has got social media buzzing after shockingly revealing that he’s dating his cousin.
The flamboyant Twitter user even shared a few very interesting exclusive comments with Briefly News.
“She’s My Cousin But We Decided to break the rules and become lovers,” he captioned the saucy post.
Speaking exclusively with Briefly News, the young man was asked whether or not the tweet was fake and just posted for clout and had this message to share:
“Others are just jealous cause in their culture it’s a so called “taboo”
The lover boy also went on to reveal that he had developed feelings for his cousin from the age of 18 and hasn’t had any regrets about their choice to make it official.
social media users had mixed reactions to the post. While some condemned the couple for messing with the well-being of their possible future children, others suggested that marrying one’s cousin was a very African thing.
