Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw has sparked controversy with her response to a young woman who shared her reasons for preferring to date Yahoo boys over working-class men.
In a widely circulated interview, the woman explained her choice, saying she enjoys dating Yahoo boys because they “spoil their partners.” She also added that Yahoo boys offer a lively, club-focused lifestyle, whereas working-class men expect their partners to stay home and cook, which she finds unappealing.
She elaborated, “All these older working-class men over 30 want you to stay home cooking. But Yahoo boys have that clubbing vibe and will make sure your bag is filled.”
In response, Henshaw issued a stern warning on social media, pointing to the rising cases of ritual activity involving young women. “Na so dem go take pieces you for ritual. Yeye mindset,” she commented.
Henshaw’s reaction has sparked mixed opinions online, with some fans applauding her caution against glamorizing the Yahoo boy lifestyle, while others debated the woman’s views on relationships and societal roles.
