Nigerian singer Shallipopi has advised men to avoid relationships motivated by financial security, warning that such arrangements rarely bring happiness or fulfillment.
In a candid statement shared with fans, Shallipopi explained that relying on a partner for survival puts men in vulnerable positions and can lead to emotional or financial manipulation.
He urged men to focus on building themselves up financially before entering relationships, emphasizing that love should be built on mutual respect and shared goals, not dependency.
The advice has resonated widely, particularly among young male fans navigating Nigeria’s challenging economic realities. Many praised him for offering guidance that contrasts with the increasingly transactional tone of modern relationships.
Critics, however, argued that his comments oversimplify the complexities of partnership and survival in a country where economic hardship pushes many to seek financial support from relationships.
