Singer Ayra Starr’s sister, Salt, has sparked reactions after saying she would control a man if she dated someone she was financially richer than.

Speaking on the Wahala Podcast, Salt was asked whether she would date a man she is richer than. She replied: “I will control him o.”

When asked if she meant it literally, she said she knew herself well enough to believe she would take control because of the financial difference.

Salt also said women should be free to choose partners based on their personal preferences, but maintained that even if she were richer, she would still expect her partner to provide in the relationship.

“Honestly, everybody have their preference to be honest. Even though I am richer, he will still be providing,” she said.

She added that she would keep her wealth private from her partner, saying: “He wouldn’t even know I have a lot of money because I will not make him know that.”

Her comments have since generated discussion online about financial differences, gender roles and expectations in relationships.

“If I date a man who i am richer than, I’ll control him. But even if I’m richer, he’ll still be providing, and I won’t let him know I have a lot of money.”

sure nah
money is power
money control all thing

That's the truth.

Same way wealthy men should try as much as possible to avoid uplifting girls from poor homes too . Make everybody stick to his/her class.

But then again,I've come to realize that most times ,it's bannies who hails from poor background are the ones who majorly set terms and Conditions for men. This is my personal experience and that's why I've said and taken it upon myself that when I'm finally made in life, nothing will ever connect me with a poor wretched banny

They are running always from the failures of their forebears. They all dream of marrying into wealth to change their lives. Some may be lucky to run into the arms of simps. But not all will be so lucky. And the unlucky become source of anguish to whatever equally unlucky men they run into.

Of course

It is what it is

Hypergamy pro max. These are the same people clamoring for equality!

I dont think she is richer than her sister, yet she is the one spewing this thrash...

You think because you have money, you can control people?

God go catch you na manipulative man you go marry. Your money would be useless in such situation.

Funny how women think they choose their husbands. To women, you can reject a man proposal. You can chose who to sleep with, can't choose a chose a husband, that's the man's duty.

You have a very interesting point though. But how sure are you that u won't end up with a poor banny.

You can't control every poor man. Some have superlative intelligence and an aura that will make you a proud wife.

As a man make money, make lots of money.

Then you never ready date and marry.

I thoroughly understand.

She spoke facts thats why as a man marry a rich woman but not richer than u

But accuse men of controlling

We need to start treating our women like the way the Talibans do. They women will love it

But what makes her so special that her opinion matters?
In fact, she is not even named. She is literally named after someone else.

So, why should her opinion matter?
Na nonsesne una dey carry as news.

That's because you come from a poor background. So to you everything is all about money.

Na for those that gives a Bleep about you. Me wey no send your papa.

Ayra Starr sister sef don become identity.

Soon , we will see Ayra Cousin.

You never get money you don dey get idea.

Oshisko.

Very poor nameless, non existing background.

No need to pay attention to what a little pikin has to say. She's entitled to her childish phase of life.

Ur sister have make a way for your family with her skill,go get yours than look for attention because you are sis to ayr star

What does she do for a living besides leaching on her sister? I don't blame her. Na Don Jazzy I blame for bringing them out of the trenches. This rat and her sister will never see the kind of money Temi Otedola or Dangote's daughters control. Yet you will never read where those girls say they'll control men.

Lola Alakija with her billions of dollars never controlled her husband. This rat that doesn't even have a name wants to control a man. Outside being Aya Starr's sister is there nothing of significance she has done in her life?

Dear men, after endurinh all the set backs and redicule from women, if Gods mercy shines upon whatever you put your hands on, and you starting living well....


Chose your wife. Don't settle for less. Don't marry an older woman or any lady out of pity. Brutally make your decisions and go for what you want!

Women keep on exposing themselves...this shows that women dont actually want equality....they want superiority.... they only hate that men are what they wanna be ... and some men allowing these women manipulate them into thinking they want equal rights ... I really like how Muslims treat their women... they put them in their place

u no fit
nothing dey more submissive than ur back for grand
kiss d truth

It's normal! As expected, it's innate, so Nothing new here.

This is why men are always advised to be ahead of their women to put your type in their place

She never jam better igbo man to date..rich,average or broke our standards and integrity remain intact.

This salt never jam pepper for this her 21years existence on earth.

Experience will humble her
