- Advises celibacy to avoid such pitfalls
Singer Shallipopi says engaging in relationships often ends in financial regret.
According to Eko Hot Blog, the artist took to his X (formerly Twitter) account to share his opinion that romantic relationships and even marriage can become major financial burdens especially for those who aren’t already wealthy. He described them as “financial mistakes” that many people regret. Mere romance, he said, can stretch one’s resources far beyond comfort.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that Shallipopi went further, urging men to avoid spending on girlfriends or romantic pursuits that offer little return. He said: “The biggest financial mistake, when you and your papa nor dey the Top 10 list of richest people in Africa you go cry bro. OS na financial mistake, Girlfriend na financial mistake, stay celibate.”
He added that pressure social, romantic, even emotional often leads people to make bad financial decisions like overspending, courting beyond means, or trying to impress others. Shallipopi’s point: these expenses add up, causing regret, debt, or financial strain.
The post has sparked wide reaction online. Some agree, saying love can come expensive, especially when expectations rise. Others defended relationships, saying love and companionship are worth more than cost. Some followers pointed out that his lifestyle in past songs seems contrary to his advice now, sparking debate about authenticity.
Shallipopi didn’t just critique dating; he also tagged marriage as a similar issue. He warned that when marriage comes with expectations gifts, ceremonies, upkeep the costs multiply. Hence his strong recommendation: celibacy might spare people from avoidable financial issues until they are stable enough to handle it.
Whether you agree or not, the controversy illustrates a growing conversation about relationships in modern Nigeria: how much is too much, what price we pay for love, and who sets those terms.
