Nigerian music star Timaya sparked controversy on social media after posting a blunt opinion on his official X (formerly Twitter) account. He wrote:

“Any MAN that runs after a woman is an IDIOT!”

The statement quickly went viral, sparking thousands of reactions and dividing fans. Supporters say Timaya was urging men to value themselves and focus on self-growth rather than chasing relationships. Critics, however, called the comment disrespectful and misogynistic, arguing it undermines respect between genders.

Timaya’s post has reignited online debates about gender roles, relationships, and expectations of men in today’s society.
