Omawumi Says Love Has Always Been Transactional
Nigerian singer Omawumi has sparked fresh debate after weighing in on the idea that modern love has become too transactional.
She does not agree with that claim. Instead, she says relationships have always worked that way, only the price has changed.
Speaking in a recent interview, the Bottom Belle star explained that back in the day, simple things were enough to impress someone. A small treat or a casual outing could go a long way.
Today, expectations look very different, and the cost of keeping up has grown.
According to her, inflation and changing lifestyles have pushed those expectations higher, making love feel more expensive than before.
She also addressed a common complaint from men. Omawumi believes many of them ignore the role they play, especially when they choose partners whose tastes demand more.
Her comments have now opened up a wider conversation about whether love has changed, or if people are just noticing what has always been there.
