Oritse Femi has sparked reactions online after sharing an unusual story about an ex-girlfriend and the financial support he provided during their relationship.
According to the singer, he once sponsored the woman’s trip to Dubai for a vacation, but said she became unwilling to return to the relationship after the trip. He claimed she told him that her father had found a job for her.
Oritse Femi also revealed that he used to give the woman a monthly allowance of ₦500,000. He said the situation became particularly interesting when he stopped sending the allowance at the end of one month.
According to him, the woman already knew that he regularly sent about ₦35 million to his manager, so instead of contacting him directly, she allegedly reached out to his manager about the unpaid allowance. His account has since generated reactions online, with many people debating relationships, financial dependence and what happens when money becomes a major part of a romantic relationship.
The singer’s claim was shared widely on social media, with reports quoting him as saying that the woman’s decision to remain abroad changed the dynamics of their relationship.
The story has also prompted conversations about whether financial support in relationships can create expectations that become difficult to separate from genuine affection. Some social media users have found the situation amusing, while others have questioned the wisdom of mixing large financial allowances with romantic relationships.
Oritse Femi’s comments have therefore become another talking point around the singer’s experiences with love, money and relationships, particularly because of the unusually large amounts he mentioned.
