Reality TV star and media personality Kim Oprah has stirred social media with her blunt take on the kind of men who approach her, especially when she’s abroad.
Appearing on The BTS Reality Podcast, the former Big Brother Naija housemate didn’t hold back as she recalled moments where cab drivers, immigration officers, and everyday strangers tried to shoot their shot.
“I’ve had taxi drivers trying to talk to me. Men have audacity, you know?”
“Abroad, they don’t care about class. They can talk to anybody—anyone is within their rights.”
“Even immigration officers try to speak to me. But the ones you actually want, they shy away. And if they do, better. That means they’re not meant for me. The one who is will come—and stay.”
Her words lit up the internet like wildfire.
Audacity Without Borders?
Many online users clapped back, accusing Kim of classism and snobbery. “Are taxi drivers not human?” one X (formerly Twitter) user asked. Others questioned why ordinary professions should disqualify someone from making a romantic gesture.
On the flip side, some defended her perspective as a matter of personal preference and dating standards. To them, Kim’s remarks reflected the modern challenge of navigating relationships in a world obsessed with status, compatibility, and curated lifestyles.
