Lexi and Mandla: 'We're not trying to be Kim and Kanye'

Johannesburg - When you're one of Mzansi's hottest reality show couples, it's hard not to get compared to Kim K and Kanye - just ask Mandla and Lexi.

The couple, who met on reality show Big Brother Mzansi, may have their own reality show now but they're not about that Kimye life!

"I love Kim Kardashian and Mandla loves Kanye, but we're not trying to be Kimye," Lexi tells CliffCentral's Arye Kellman. 

It's really just the media and our friends who have called us Mandlex. Even in the mall, people will come up to us and call us Malexi. It's not us calling ourselves that, the fans just decided to put the names together and we think it's awesome," she adds.

Lexi says despite what people on Twitter may think, her and Mandla are not out looking for attention, instead they are just being themselves.

"When I was evicted I never knew people would love and hate me so much," Lexi says. "But months later and I'm still relevant. I haven't met a Twitter hater personally, but they should come come out and support me, and we should have a drink," she says.

Is the offer for drinks open to K2 too, Lexi? Probably as long as they wearing closed shoes, right?
