Men Who Don’t Have Money are Ladies – Shallipopi
Nigerian artist Crown Uzama, widely known as Shallipopi, has sparked controversy online with his recent comments about wealth and masculinity.
In a post shared on his X (formerly Twitter) account on Friday, the singer stated that money is the defining factor of manhood. “Na money make u be man, if u nor get join the ladies set,” Shallipopi wrote, implying that men without financial means should be grouped with women.
Adding to the debate, the singer criticised men without wealth who pursue romantic relationships instead of focusing on financial success. “If u like no get money, dey find babe, u fit say life na 2014,” he added, suggesting that such priorities are outdated.
Shallipopi’s remarks have drawn mixed reactions from fans and social media users. While some criticised his perspective, arguing that money does not solely define a person’s worth, the singer stood by his opinion, insisting that wealth is a necessity.
This polarising statement has ignited broader conversations about societal expectations of men and the pressures associated with financial stability. Despite the backlash, Shallipopi’s comments continue to trend, stirring debates about gender roles and the value placed on material success in contemporary society.
