In the realm of celebrity hot takes, some hills are best left unclimbed—especially when they involve dating, money, and the ever-watchful eyes of Nigeria’s single men. But alas, BNXN has boldly gone where many fear to tread: the age-old “who should pay on the first date?” debate.
When asked his stance in a recent interview, the 28-year-old didn’t hesitate:
“I’m an African man. We handle all those things… A man is the provider, so you have to be able to do that kind of thing.”
And just like that, he broke the fragile alliance with the budget-conscious Brotherhood of eligible bachelors, also known as the split-the-bill warriors of modern romance. If that quote finds its way to the group chat (and it will), the singer should prepare for digital draggings, hot takes, and more subtweets than his notification bar can handle.
Critics—armed with bank apps and current inflation statistics —have already started firing back. Their main argument? It’s easy to flex “provider energy” when you’re cashing royalty checks and not breaking your back working a 9-5 job.
So here’s your warning, BNXN: prepare for what’s coming. The Brotherhood doesn’t forget, or forgive betrayal.
