Lady explains reason for rejection
According to her statement in the video: “Just now, i just met a guy that was trying to like ask for my contact but unfortunately i didn’t give him because the both of us were under the sun.
I can’t be under the sun hustling my life, you too under the sun hustling your life, assuming me i’m okay now maybe i’m in my car, i’m in my cybertruck you know I would have given him my contact because of course why not but in this case None of us don’t get money.
Me, I dey find money, you dey find money. So, abeg. Just dey, abeg, make everybody dey.
Make everybody dey find their money because I don’t want to hear anything like, ehn ehn, she’s billing, she’s billing. Abeg.
Find your own money. Focus on finding money. While I focus on finding my own money. Period.”
Her comments suggest she prefers to focus on financial stability before entertaining romantic connections, especially with someone she believes is in a similar struggle.
