He expressed his concern about the prevalence of domestic abuse in African society, where women often face mistreatment.

Praising the song, the host said: “‘Better’ is my favourite song ever. In that song, it’s like you’re speaking up for a woman that has been treated badly by another man.”

Joeboy said: “It’s something that happens a lot in African society; domestic abuse. Sometimes women are maltreated and not treated properly. I wanted to shed light on domestic violence against women.”

Singer Joseph Akinfenwa Donus aka Joeboy has dropped his two cents on the easiest way to know if a woman likes a man. 

According to him, the easiest way for a man to know if a woman genuinely likes him is if she is ready to spend on him by buying gifts randomly.

Speaking in a recent episode of Madame Joyce’s ‘Cocktails & Takeaways’ podcast, Joeboy 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.

Joeboy also said he is open to marrying his current girlfriend.

He described his current relationship as “pure intense helpless love”.

“If I don’t see myself being with somebody for life, I’m not going to be in a committed relationship. I would rather let’s just be seeing ourselves but no commitment.”

This statement aligns with his previous disclosure in a 2023 interview where he mentioned spending approximately N50 million on his current girlfriend over two years, indicating a significant investment in their relationship.

He however prefers to keep his girlfriend’s identity concealed to protect his private life from social media scrutiny.

Afrobeats singer Joseph Akinfenwa popularly known as Joeboy has called on colleagues to support local awards.

According to him, African awards should be valued more over foreign awards.

He spoke when he appeared on The Big Convo podcast where he argued that the Grammys is an American award show despite its worldwide recognition.

He also called on Afrobeats stars to support award shows in the continent rather than pay attention to the Grammys.

“I think we should unapologetically be ourselves and also empower our institutions here in Africa,” he said.

“Grammys is a great award but it is still an American award. It is just seen as a global award because of its positioning.

“But we make it look like that it is the biggest award an African artist can ever get. Why don’t we show up for our awards and plan it properly?

“If they did not show up for their awards, it wouldn’t be as great as it is now. I know there is money to be made there but we need to return home and invest.

“At the end of the day, we will all have to come back. So it is all about making sure our infrastructure and institutions are growing.”

Singer Joeboy has asserted that a number of social media trolls are not in love with themselves.

He stated this in an interview on 3FM Drive with Chrystal Kwame-Aryee where he said the act of “trolling” is a reflection of how online trolls feel about themselves.

He revealed: “I feel like love can be the solution or love is the solution to a lot of things because people will treat themselves better if they truly love themselves.

“And I feel like sometimes when I see trolls on the internet, I think it’s an expression about the way they feel about themselves,” he said.

You will probably see me on WhatsApp and I will not be posting anything, maybe my profile picture will be there for like four years ago without any update, that’s the kind of person I am. I can do without social media,” he said

“But for me if I wasn’t doing any of that, I would not go be on social media at all,” he added.
