The Narrative That Men Are Not important Is Dangerous – Seyi Shay Warns

Popular Nigerian singer, Seyi Shay, has kicked against those claiming that men are not important.
According to her, such a narrative is dangerous.
The music star claimed that a lot of women who have a father figure in their lives growing up are more stable with better values than the ones that don’t.
She noted that the narrative that “men are not important” is only a decoy to create more broken homes.
Speaking in a recent episode of The Honest Bunch podcast, she said, “Most women who have a father figure in thier lives are generally more stable. They had a lot more access to good education and good morals growing up than the ones that don’t.
 
“Also, there is a bar when they want to get married or when they chose male friends. All these narrative of men are not important is bullsh*t because that’s just an agenda for more divisions in our homes so that we can churn out more broken souls and more lost females and males.”
The 39-year-old singer said she is grateful she didn’t had a daughter in her 20s, stressing that she now has the experience and capacity to raise child better.
She explained that with her experience, she would be able to guide her daughter as not to make the same mistakes she made when it comes to men, friendship, and other endeavours.

Veteran Actress Lola Idije Opens Up About Single Parenting, Trust And Life

Veteran Yoruba actress, Lola Idije has opened up about being a single parent.
She spoke in a recent interview with fellow actress Ayo Adesanya.
Lola Idije explained in Yoruba that single parenting is not an easy road at all.
According to her, it comes with endless challenges, especially when raising children without a partner’s support.
She revealed that as a single parent, you carry heavy responsibilities alone — from school fees to daily upkeep — and most people are not willing to help. She stressed that even when relatives or friends promise to assist, many times it ends in disappointment.
Lola Idije didn’t stop there.
She said many men are generally not serious. According to her, some only come around because they’ve placed a bet with friends that they’ll “get the lady.”
She added that the way men look at actresses is sometimes very disrespectful, believing that with as little as ₦500,000 they can get any woman in the industry.
The actress also warned women to be careful with trust, saying, “Trust no one.”
She added that it is painful when people who can afford to support single parents prefer to “flex” instead of helping those in need.
Speaking further, Lola Idije noted that despite all these challenges, many women keep pushing for the sake of their children.

American rapper Cardi B has written her name into the history books by becoming the first female rapper to debut her first two studio albums at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.
This followed the rave made by her latest release “Am I The Drama?.”
The album had 200,000 equivalent album units in its opening week.
In an official Instagram post, Billboard announced: “Cardi B scores her second No. 1 on the Billboard 200 as ‘Am I The Drama?’ debuts atop the tally..
”With 200,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S., it marks 2025’s biggest week for an R&B/hip-hop album by a woman.”
This mirrors the success of her 2018 debut album “Invasion of Privacy,” which also launched at No. 1.
The strong debut was driven by heavy streaming numbers and robust physical sales, with multiple CD and vinyl editions contributing to the impressive figures.
“Am I The Drama?” now holds the biggest first-week sales of 2025 for a female hip-hop or R&B artist.
In a unique promotional twist, Cardi B also broke a Guinness World Record by delivering 176 signed copies of her album via drone delivery in just one hour across the Dallas–Fort Worth area.
