"Because money can up and leave. You can marry someone who has money today and in two years the guy doesn't have all that money anymore. But I feel like sometimes, guys think they can handle it, and they think it is nice on paper, even in that reality, a lot of them cannot handle a successful woman.

Makinwa has always been vocal about her thoughts when it comes to relationships and social topics
