Adewale Adeleke, the elder brother of Nigerian music star Davido, has sparked online conversation after reacting to a viral post about financial responsibility in relationships.
The original post, shared by an X (formerly Twitter) user, read:
“Stop dating women if you can’t afford to take care of them.”
Adewale amplified the message by reposting it with a bold caption:
“Only brokies will be triggered by this…”
His comment quickly ignited intense reactions across social media, with many netizens weighing in on both sides of the divide.
While some supported Adewale’s view — arguing that men should be financially stable before entering romantic relationships — others slammed the remark as elitist, materialistic, and reinforcing outdated gender roles.
Critics argued that relationships should be based on partnership, mutual growth, and emotional connection, not just financial support. On the other hand, supporters argue that economic preparedness is crucial in modern dating culture, particularly given the rising costs of living and social expectations.
The post has since gone viral, sparking conversations around gender roles, financial responsibility, and modern relationship dynamics, with Adewale’s name trending in the process.
This isn’t the first time the Adeleke family has been at the center of online debates. Still, Adewale’s blunt opinion continues to fuel discussion about what truly defines a healthy relationship in today’s world.
