Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson recently shared his perspective on modern relationships, expressing concern over the increasing trend of monetizing dating.

In an interview with TVC, Egbuson highlighted how this shift has influenced the dynamics between men and women, particularly among the affluent.

He observed that many women now equate a man’s love with his financial generosity, leading to a misconception that lavish spending signifies genuine affection.

Egbuson pointed out that for wealthy men, such expenditures are often inconsequential, allowing them to replicate the same gestures with multiple partners without forming deep emotional connections.

“The nonchalant attitude of some men is because there are a lot of women accessible to them,” Egbuson explained. “Once you have money, you have a lot of options. And that is also because a lot of women have monetized dating.”

He further elaborated that this monetization has led some men to devalue relationships, knowing they can easily attract numerous women through financial means alone. This dynamic, according to Egbuson, has made the dating scene more stressful and challenging to navigate.

Reflecting on his personal experiences, Egbuson revealed that he has chosen to remain single for now, describing the current dating landscape as “stressful” due to these complexities.

Nigerian comedian Basketmouth has addressed the public’s curiosity regarding his silence on the recent separation of singer 2Face Idibia and his wife, Annie.

In a video shared on his Instagram page, Basketmouth, whose real name is Bright Okpocha, explained his decision to remain uninvolved in the matter.

He emphasized that, despite his long-standing friendships with both 2Face and Annie—spanning 27 and 24 years respectively—he does not feel qualified to comment on their personal affairs.

In his message, he stated, “I have been receiving lots of emails and DMs from people asking me why I don’t want to get involved in Tuface and Annie’s matters? I have known 2Face for 27 years and I met Annie 24 years ago.

First of all, I’m not in any position to get involved, because I’m not qualified at all. Make I no go talk the one wey go make people remember my own, con dey drag my head.”

Basketmouth concluded by expressing his intention to maintain a low profile in 2025, saying, “This new year 2025, wey we just enter, I’m just trying to have an undraggable year. Please, don’t push me.”

Adekunle Gold is not happy with how things are going in the Nigerian music industry right now. The Afrobeats singer believes the industry is being controlled by people who have no real understanding or respect for music, and it’s affecting artists, producers, and other creatives.

He called out the dominance of non-music-oriented individuals in industry conversations, saying they are setting the wrong narratives, which is why true talent is often ignored while mediocrity gets all the attention.

On his X page, he shared his frustration, saying that those who should be leading discussions—artists, producers, and genuine contributors—are being overshadowed by people who neither create music nor appreciate the craft.

In his words, “People who have no business leading music conversations are now controlling and destroying the industry.”
