Nigerian socialite and influencer Yhemolee has stirred online discussions after openly talking about men’s spending habits in relationships, particularly noting how some men prioritise side partners over family obligations.
The comments, made during an interview on Wednesday, have reignited conversations about financial priorities, cultural expectations, and the sense of duty toward parents in contemporary Nigerian society.
Yhemolee pointed out that it is not unusual for men to spend lavishly on extramarital partners while giving little support to their mothers, who often hold a central place in Nigerian households.
He further admitted that he had engaged in such behaviour himself, underlining how common the practice is.
“Before a man sends 100k to his mother, he go don send one side chick 5 million. Even me, I don run am. It’s not just me; you see it everywhere. Men focus on impressing women outside their homes while forgetting the very people who raised them,” he said.
This discussion mirrors controversies from 2025, when several Nigerian celebrities faced backlash for prioritising flashy lifestyles over family responsibilities.
Social commentators note that while Yhemolee’s confession is personal, it sheds light on a broader cultural concern regarding financial accountability and respect for elders.
The interview has gone viral across X and Instagram, sparking debates about morality, responsibility, and the balancing act men face between social image and family obligations.
