(DDM) – Nigerian singer Jaywon has issued a stern warning to women who marry men solely for financial gain, declaring that they should not be shocked when the “consequences of their actions” eventually arrive.
DDM gathered that the “This Year” crooner made the statement in a social media post on Sunday, reacting to the ongoing marital drama between actress Regina Daniels and her husband, Senator Ned Nwoko.
Jaywon stated that women who knowingly become second or third wives for material comfort must be ready to face the inevitable emotional and moral costs of such decisions.
He wrote, “Don’t be surprised when the consequences arrive. You can’t play life like a game of cards and expect a soft landing. Life has balance.”
The singer’s remarks come amid social media uproar following reports that Nwoko accused Regina Daniels of drug abuse, violence, and destruction of property, claims which have dominated online discussions for days.
Jaywon’s post quickly went viral, with many Nigerians interpreting it as a subtle reaction to the actress’s situation.
While some social media users agreed with the artist’s sentiment, praising him for speaking “hard truth”, others criticised him for using another person’s marital crisis as a “moral lesson.”
DDM notes that Jaywon, whose real name is Iledare Oluwajuwonlo, has often used his platform to comment on social and moral issues in Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
He has previously advised young artists and fans to “build character before chasing fame,” warning that quick wealth and shallow values often lead to regret.
In the post’s comment section, fans engaged in heated debate over the culture of young women marrying older, wealthy men for financial security, a recurring topic in Nigeria’s entertainment and political circles.
Some users defended Regina, arguing that love, not greed, may have influenced her marriage to Nwoko. Others maintained that relationships built on material motives are “doomed from the start.”
Observers say Jaywon’s latest statement reflects growing public frustration with what many see as a moral decline in celebrity relationships, where wealth and social status increasingly overshadow emotional compatibility and long-term commitment.
As the controversy continues, Jaywon’s words, “don’t be surprised when the consequences arrive”, have become one of the most quoted phrases trending on Nigerian social media this week, sparking wider discussions about money, marriage, and morality in modern society.
