“If a guy cannot put me on a salary, he is a red flag. Just be ready to make money because you will be paying me weekly salary, not monthly.” – 9ja Amaka.
Popular Nigerian brand influencer and skit maker 9ja Amaka has once again stirred up heated conversations online with her bold take on relationships, money, and what she expects from a potential partner.
In a recent chat with fellow content creator Kaptain Jeff, 9ja Amaka didn’t mince words. She declared that any man who cannot commit to putting her on a salary is a “red flag.” According to her, financial consistency is non-negotiable in a relationship.
“Without even going out, people dash me money because I have a big breast,” she said confidently.
“If a guy cannot put me on a salary, he is a red flag. Just be ready to make money because you will be paying me weekly salary, not monthly.”
The statement, which was part of a TikTok video that quickly went viral, has sparked mixed reactions across social media. While some viewers found her honesty refreshing, others criticized the idea of romantic relationships being treated like financial contracts.
9ja Amaka, who has built a following through her comedic skits and outspoken personality, insists that her views are not for clout. She says they show her lived experience and personal standards.
In the same conversation, she reportedly mentioned that her ideal man should be ready to spend up to N500 million to meet her lifestyle needs – including hair, nails, shopping, and food.
Despite the backlash, she remains unapologetic. Her TikTok and YouTube platforms continue to attract thousands of followers who either support her views or tune in to see what she’ll say next.
The influencer’s comments have reignited broader discussions about gender roles, financial expectations in modern relationships, and the blurred lines between love and lifestyle sponsorship.
While some argue that she’s simply stating her worth, others believe her demands reflect a growing trend of transactional dating culture.
