Nigerian musician Rudeboy, known for his success as part of the duo Psquare, has sparked controversy with his recent remarks about Nigerian women’s expenditure on wigs in their pursuit to attract men. On March 14, 2024, Rudeboy shared his views, suggesting that a significant portion of men pay little attention to what a woman wears on her head, implying that the effort and money women invest in wigs to appeal to men might be misplaced.
The “Do Me” star’s comments have led to a flurry of responses from the public, particularly from women who found his advice unsolicited and demeaning. Critics argue that his statements overlook the autonomy women have over their choices and appearances, emphasizing that such expenditures are not solely for attracting a partner but also for personal satisfaction and confidence.
This backlash highlights the ongoing conversation surrounding gender expectations and the critique of women’s personal choices in the context of relationships. While Rudeboy aimed to share an observation about men’s preferences, the reaction underscores the sensitivity and complexity of discussions about beauty standards and the pressure on women to conform to certain images to be deemed attractive.
