Reality TV star and entrepreneur Kiddwaya has opened up about the challenges of dating women from regular backgrounds, saying that what often begins with gratitude and humility sometimes turns into entitlement.
“At first, they’re thankful everything feels new and exciting,” he said. “But after a few months, they start comparing themselves to others. They want the same bags, the same trips, and soon, what was once special becomes expected.”
According to him, that shift often changes the energy in the relationship. “The entitlement sets in and sometimes turns into rudeness,” Kiddwaya explained. “That’s been my biggest issue dating someone from a lower class and bringing them into my lifestyle.”
Still, the Big Brother Naija alumnus says he remains open-minded about love. “I don’t pick based on background or status,” he noted. “Just be nice, have good energy, and stay grounded. I’m very easy to please when it comes to relationships.”
When asked about the qualities he values most in a woman, Kiddwaya listed three key traits faith, attitude, and spontaneity. “You have to believe in God,” he said firmly. “It doesn’t have to be tied to religion, but there must be a belief in something higher than us.”
He went on to stress the importance of character, especially in how people treat others. “The way you speak to a waiter or anyone who’s not on your level says everything about you,” he said. “Respect should never depend on status.”
On spontaneity, Kiddwaya admitted he’s a free spirit who loves adventure. “I could wake up and say, ‘Babe, we’re going to Jamaica tomorrow,’ and I want her to say, ‘Let’s go,’” he said with a laugh. “I just like someone who can match my energy and enjoy the moment.”
For Kiddwaya, love isn’t about luxury or background it’s about connection and simplicity. “At the end of the day, I just want someone kind, respectful, and full of life,” he said. “Someone who can bring peace into my world and grow with me.”
