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.

Rising Nigerian music star Shoday has explained why he has chosen not to get tattoos despite gaining popularity in the music industry.

The singer, whose real name is Segun Shodade, said he prefers to keep his options open in case his music career does not work out as planned.

Speaking in a recent interview, Shoday explained that his decision is influenced by the uncertainty that comes with the entertainment industry.

According to him, although music is his passion, he believes it is important to have alternative plans for the future.

“I don’t have a tattoo on my body because I am skeptical. If music doesn’t work, I will carry my files and go back to office work. I don’t want to put myself in a position where I limit my future options,” he said.

Shoday added that his mindset is based on realism rather than fear, noting that success in the music industry can be unpredictable, even for talented artists.

He also explained that having a backup plan gives him peace of mind as he continues to build his career.

“Music is not guaranteed for anybody. I enjoy what I do, but I also understand that life can change at any time,” he said.

His comments have sparked conversations online, with many people praising his practical approach to fame, career growth, and long-term planning.

Nigerian music star, Davido, has engaged in a heated exchange on social media after a user criticized him for speaking about the challenges facing Nigeria.

The controversy started after Davido shared a post expressing concern over the state of the country. According to the singer, entertainers, including himself, have not done enough to speak out against issues affecting Nigerians.

“I can’t lie, we entertainers… we dey fuck up, I won’t lie, including me. We need to speak up. It’s too much injustice going on. Our country don go,” he wrote.

His post sparked reactions online, including one from a social media user identified as Princess Luna, who questioned the sincerity of his comments.

“Na God go punish you and your family. Go and do that performative rubbish in your City Boys group chat and get out of my face with all this pretentious nonsense. Na foolish Nigerians I blame,” she wrote.

Responding to the criticism, Davido denied being part of any political group and insisted that he has spoken out on national issues in the past.

“I no dey part of any City Boy group. When I called out the government on American media, you guys rained curses on me.

“I’ve been friends with ST for years and that’s where it stops, and I call and complain to him all the time, even in person.

“God punish your generation,” the singer replied.
