Nigerian artist Shallipopi took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his blunt thoughts on men without financial means who prioritize relationships over building their finances.
He began by tweeting, “If u like no get money, Dey find babe, u fit say life na 2014,” implying that men without money pursuing relationships might be out of touch with reality.
When a follower asked if he believed money could replace true love, Shallipopi responded sarcastically: “U feel say na love woman Dey chop? Dey play,” suggesting that financial stability is more practical than relying solely on love.
In a final tweet, Shallipopi declared, “Na money make u be man, if u nor get join the ladies set,” doubling down on his belief that financial capability defines a man.
The series of tweets sparked mixed reactions online, with some agreeing with his stance while others criticized the reduction of relationships to financial transactions.
