I Was A Millionaire Before I Met Him – Paul Okoye’s Wife, Ivy Denies Marrying Singer For Money
Ivy Ifeoma, the wife of Nigerian singer Paul Okoye, popularly known as Rudeboy, has addressed claims that she married the music star because of his wealth.
Speaking in a video shared on her TikTok page, Ivy advised women not to make marrying a rich man their main life goal.
According to her, while marrying into a wealthy family can provide opportunities, women should focus on building their own financial independence and success.
She also revealed that she was already financially successful before meeting Paul Okoye, dismissing suggestions that she married him because of money.
Ivy said, “This is my take on the idea of marrying a rich man and before you come for me, know that I was a millionaire before I met this man [Paul Okoye].
“Marrying a rich man should not be anybody’s primary goal. Why would you even want to have a primary goal of marrying someone because they are rich? At the end of the day, it is their money, not your money.
“Don’t get me wrong, marrying rich is a very good add-on because it can open doors of opportunities for you. But what I will tell you to do as a woman is to get rich.”
She added that wealthy people are often attracted to ambitious and hardworking partners and encouraged single women to invest in themselves and pursue their own success.
