Nigerian musician Joseph Akinfenwa Donus, better known by his stage name Joeboy, provides a straightforward piece of advice for guys looking to gauge the intensity of a woman’s love.
He believes that a woman’s desire to invest in her partner—perhaps not with large gestures, but with deliberate, mindful spending—is a telltale indicator of genuine interest.
Joeboy offered his viewpoint in an open discussion on Madame Joyce’s podcast, “Cocktails & Takeaways.”
According to Joeboy, it’s fair to expect little tokens of appreciation from one’s significant other throughout the initial months of a relationship.
He says it doesn’t have to cost a fortune to provide these gifts—what matters are the intentions behind them.
He said:
“The easiest way to know if a woman genuinely likes you is if she’s ready to spend on you.
“It doesn’t have to be anything crazy [expensive]. It can be just a situation of ‘Oh! I saw this shirt that I really like and I think it will look good on you.”
“Three months into a relationship, you can start expecting gifts from your partner. It doesn’t have to be something expensive, just little things.
“A lot of people don’t understand that men are not used to getting gifts so whenever they get a gift even if it’s socks, we appreciate it a lot.”
In another story, Joeboy reacts as Blaqbonez claims only 4 artistes are better than him.
The ‘Best Rapper In Africa’ crooner made the bold claim on his X, formerly Twitter page, adding that it is only the big 3 or 4 artistes in Nigeria that can surpass him.
Blaqbonez stated this in response to a critic that dissed him for claiming that the two songs he released this year are better than all Afrobeats songs released. Blaqbonez wrote:
“I’ve only added 2 songs on my rotation this year, and it’s been 3 months, most releases have been ass, I don’t even bother to play the top 100 again, cos that one is designed by farmers.”
In reaction, the critic said; “He doesn’t have one song that would give him credibility for this stupiid talk btw.”
