Isabella Idibia has disclosed that some men have approached her romantically solely because they want to use her connections to advance their music careers.
The daughter of music legend 2Baba revealed that guys ask her out with the ulterior motive of getting her to play their songs for her father or help them secure a record deal with him.
Her confession has sparked varied reactions online, with many social media users pointing out that such behaviour exemplifies the prevalence of relationship-building based on connections rather than genuine affection.
Some users jokingly acknowledged that this kind of strategy is fairly common, while others admitted they would equally take advantage of an opportunity to get their music heard by a major industry figure.
The responses ranged from criticism of the opportunistic dating tactics to lighthearted acceptance that people often leverage personal relationships to advance professional ambitions.
The incident highlights how proximity to powerful figures in entertainment can make individuals targets for relationship approaches driven by career calculation rather than authentic romantic interest.
