Award-winning Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage has stirred conversations online with her thought-provoking take on the dynamics of wealth and relationships.
During a recent discussion, the music star referenced billionaire businessman Obi Cubana to highlight a perceived societal double standard.
Savage remarked, “It might shock you to know that a man as rich as Obi Cubana can date a girl that has never seen a million, but a girl at his level can never date a man that has never seen a million.”
She emphasized that wealthy men often date women with significantly less financial standing without judgment, a scenario she believes rarely applies to women in similar positions.
Expanding on her point, Savage said, “A billionaire like Obi Cubana can date a girl that has never seen a million and still respect her. But if tables turn, a man that hasn’t seen a million might never have a chance to talk to a lady who is a billionaire without being broke-shamed.”
The singer described these dynamics as “uncomfortable truths,” shedding light on the societal pressures men without money face.
She added, “If you see how men without money are being treated, you’ll pity them. Dear young men, just hustle; you might never know how much you are loved if you don’t make it in life.”
Tiwa Savage’s statement has sparked widespread reactions on social media, with many debating whether financial stability is unfairly weighted in romantic relationships for men compared to women.
Some agreed with her observations, while others questioned the generalizations.
The debate underscores ongoing conversations about wealth, gender roles, and societal expectations in modern relationships.
