The Kumawood actor, Big Akwes, sparked controversy, calling it a “disgrace” for males to neglect to present on Valentine’s Day and asking women to end such partnerships.
Big Akwes, a Kumawood actor, has sparked controversy with his bold views about the value of money in relationships, alleging that it is a “disgrace” for a man to fail to buy a Valentine’s Day present for his spouse.
During an appearance with Max TV, Big Akwes answered a question from a male viewer who inquired what he should do if he couldn’t afford a Valentine’s gift for his partner.
The actor’s solution was straightforward: You must put some money down and buy something pleasant for your lady. If you can’t afford a Valentine’s gift, why is she still with you? Sell your phone to get something for your partner.
He went on to say that she should leave the relationship. It is a travesty that you cannot even afford a bar of chocolate for your girlfriend. It is a major insult.
Big Akwes emphasized the need of financial stability in relationships, claiming that emotional and physical intimacy cannot sustain a healthy relationship.
He maintained that money is important in partnerships; sex alone is insufficient.
The actor also had a warning for ladies, advising them to be wary if their spouses do not buy gifts for Valentine’s Day. However, he also encouraged women to reciprocate with gifts for their partners.
If your lover is unable to purchase anything for you, stop the relationship. But if he does, you should be able to acquire something for him—a watch or whatever will be fine, he concluded.
Big Akwes’ comments have created a heated controversy, with some supporting his stance on financial responsibility in partnerships and others arguing that love should not be linked to money presents.
