Key Points
- Erigga links flashy fraud to lost, pricey romance. He says men feel worth sits in their wallets.
- Rapper recalls low-cost dates once kept love simple. Now couples trade favours for cash and status.
- He urges stronger values in men and women. Fans debate materialism, masculinity, and dating norms today.
Erigga (Erhiga Agarivbie) says so-called Yahoo boys have “killed” romance in Nigeria. The rapper shared the view during a chat on Yanga FM. His claim has stirred talk on love, money, and modern dating across social feeds.
He argues that showy spending has set a bad bar for dating. Women now expect quick gifts and big bills from men, he says. Recent celebrity tensions show similar strain, as seen in this DJ Cuppy relationship claim.
Why he links fraud to romance
Erigga says lavish gifts from dirty money reset simple hopes in love. “Romance no longer exists,” he said in pidgin during the chat. Public dates now feel priced, not warm, in his telling.
His message for young men
He blames “weak men” for feeding today’s price tags. In his words, “some men think their worth is only cash.” He recalls when meat pie and a long walk felt enough.
The remarks feed a wider debate on status, privacy, and care in love. Other stars now push for low-key ties, such as this Nadia Nakai private life.
For now, Erigga’s take taps a real worry about cost, value, and how couples connect.
