As the tweet went viral, it ignited a spirited debate among netizens. Some expressed surprise and concern, assuming that Elaine’s foray into flower selling signalled financial difficulties. However, others defended her, emphasizing the importance of diversifying income streams.
@rakgadibandz aptly pointed out, “Surely she’s allowed to have more than 1 income stream.” Meanwhile, @puleng_mothobi expressed worry, exclaiming, “She’s down yoh.”
Amidst the heated discussion, @_aphiiwe couldn’t help but question, “Why did she drop clarity?!” And @NqobileT_ responded, “Are you genuinely asking, or you’re trolling her?”
One netizen, @MoreTwoLyf, highlighted the hypocrisy surrounding society’s perception of multiple income streams.
They noted, “Y’all always talking about multiple streams of income. And not so long ago, you guys were praising some soccer guy who’s now an Uber driver, but Elaine having a side hustle is where you draw the line.”

@restoringorder_ took the opportunity to challenge traditional notions of success, stating, “If you are still narrow-minded and believe in a 9-5 over starting an actual business that can generate wealth in the long run so that legacy can be passed on to the next generations, then I’ve got news for you. But have your moment and get your likes. You’ll wake up when it’s too late.”
Elaine’s unexpected venture into the world of flowers has certainly sparked conversations and challenged societal norms. It’s a reminder that artists, like everyone else, have the right to explore new opportunities and pursue their passions beyond their primary craft.
