Tiwa Savage, a multi-award-winning musician from Nigeria, has advised unmarried women to date guys who are prepared to lavishly treat them.
She added that it's preferable for women to cry over opulent belongings than over grief, advising women to select guys who are eager to present them with extravagant gifts and experiences.
The 'Malo' singer, also known as Tiwatope Savage-Balogun in private, was eager to clarify that she wasn't advocating prostitution or consumerism in any manner, but rather stressing the value of being financially compatible and appreciating one's achievements. She stressed that women should enjoy the perks and benefits of dating without necessarily partaking in behaviors like "runs" (pursuing someone for financial gain only) or prostitution.
The acclaimed singer may be heard on stage in a viral video recorded by Ameyaw Debrah Media saying,
"I'm not advocating runs, and I'm not suggesting that you should pursue a man for his money. I'm only pointing out how lovely it is when he wants to spend money on you.
They will still break your heart in any case, she said. It is therefore better for you to cry when flying in style to Dubai on your private jet while carrying a Christian Dior, Birkin bag, and other luxury items. We are only stating that, despite having our own money, his money is significant and needs to be consumed.
