Reactions have continued to trail a comment by the famous Senegalese-American singer and record producer, Aliaune Damala Badara Akon Thiam, better known as Akon, for saying money brings more problems than comfort.

Reacting to Akon’s statement, many social media users have urged the singer to give them all he has worked for together with the problem.

Recall that the singer, who, in a radio interview, claimed that money does not necessarily buy happiness as it largely depends on what makes one happy, also explained that people who have money do not have time as it makes you lose yourself and takes you away from your family.

Talking from his experience, Akon said he had once tasted poverty before he became rich.

“Believe me, I know what poverty and success looks like, and from my personal experience, I’m having more problems successfully dealing with all that comes with success than I had when I was poor.”

The 49-year-old singer further noted that he was actually happier when he was poor.

Reacting to Akon’s statement,

Snehlevulz: “We that don’t have the money, we know the kind of problems we face daily. Before going to bed, we think about what to eat the next day. How can you even solve personal and family problems without money?, Please give me the money because I like problem.

Ujah_mark: “Una go don get money come dey talk another thing, and everyday una still dey hustle for the money.”

Vasco_jiggyboy: “give out all your money then, and see comfort flying out of the window.”

Slimezzzotf;#: “It’s not your fault, is because you are fortunate.”

Slis_d_boy: “Make I get money first if problem come money will solve it.”

Raywizzy_beast; “Come Nigeria come stay for one year first without money, make I see whether you will open your mouth and talk this rubbish again.”

Vic_freeman001; “let him transfer all his money to me, it’s only mumu that will agree with you.”

Desmondshadrach12: “Akon please give me everything you have work for, this is the kind of problems i want.”

Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels said she is no longer interested in marriage after her messy separation from her estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko.

The mother of two, however, said she is still much interested in having more children, vowing that she must have a daughter.

Speaking during a recent livestream with Tiktoker Jarvis, Daniels explained that she wants to her a daughter because she believes daughters care more for their parents during old age.

“I want to have six children and I have two already, two boys. It so crazy but for some reason I have checked my mind out from getting married. But I am going to have a girl and I must have a girl.

“Men will grow, get married and and focus more on building family. But for women she will always remember home,” she added.

Regina Daniels and her estranged husband, Ned Nwoko, got married in 2019, sparking public outrage due to 40-year age gap between the actress, who was only 19 then, and the billionaire politician.

They share two children; all boys.

In late 2025, their marriage hit a highly public crisis following allegations by Nwoko that the actress was struggling with drug and alcohol abuse and requiring rehabilitation.

Regina Daniels swiftly debunked the allegations and accused Nwoko of manipulation, psychological control, and abuse.

Shortly after, she walked away from the marriage and moved into her own house.

Ever since, she has maintained that she is now single.

Nigerian entrepreneur and socialite, Pascal Chibuike Okechukwu, also known as Cubana Chief Priest, has opened up on his fallout with singer Burna Boy, alleging that the music star publicly attacked him because of his close relationship with Davido.

Speaking during an interview on The Beat 99.9 FM on Wednesday, Cubana Chief Priest said his journey to success began from apprenticeship and years of hard work, adding that fame and financial growth often attract envy and criticism.

“Success comes with a lot of hate. I started my journey from apprenticeship and service and I learnt so much about growth and perseverance. When you start becoming successful, you understand how people treat you.

“I was on my own and Burna Boy came for me, went on his big platform and started tweeting things that are not genuine, things that are not possible, things that have not existed and the attack was straight to my wealth.

“So he wanted to make people look at my wealth, disrespect my wealth, I felt bad and that happened because of my relationship with Davido,” he said.

He further stated that Davido has consistently supported his businesses and personal projects.

“David is always there for me. He opened all my nightclubs, restaurants, everything. He always shows up to support me.

“He’s investing in clubs in Lagos, and I’m making music to prove a point that I can,” he added.
