Rapper Ladipoe, the “feeling” crooner known as the rap attack for Mavin and Mo’hits, has sparked significant reactions from fans. These reactions are regarding his recent remarks on relationships and financial dynamics. During an appearance on Beat FM’s Midday Show, he shared his skepticism about the prevalence of online narratives. These narratives suggest that men are often financially exploited by their partners.
Ladipoe emphasized the importance of mutual understanding when it comes to financial responsibilities in a healthy relationship. He stated that if he invites someone to dinner, he believes it is his responsibility to cover the bill. He questioned why this topic generates so much debate.
While acknowledging the traditional expectation for men to provide in relationships, he expressed uncertainty. He was unsure about whether this expectation is inherently positive or negative. Ladipoe highlighted the value of reciprocity in his current relationship, noting that his partner demonstrates appreciation through thoughtful gestures. This motivates him to contribute to her well-being.
He underscored the significance of mutual respect and understanding in managing financial responsibilities. He stated, “I really wonder if people are telling the truth with the stories they say online. If you’re with a reasonable person, it usually works itself out.”
He reflected on his personal experiences, indicating that apart from his family, he has rarely received financial support from women. This reinforced his belief that support in relationships should be reciprocal.
Ladipoe concluded by reiterating that no one wants to feel taken advantage of. He pointed out that mutual investment in a relationship is crucial for its success.
