Nollywood star and media figure Dorcas Shola Fapson, also known as Ms DSF, recently shed light on a prevalent issue in Nigerian relationships: male insecurity.

Speaking on the popular Bahd and Boujee Podcast with hosts Tolanibaj and Moet Abebe, she revealed her experiences with men who feel threatened by her achievements.

Ms DSF emphasized the importance of having a confident partner who can embrace and uplift successful women.

She said, “When you are successful, beautiful and have everything going for you, I feel like it can be intimidating to a lot of men. I’ve had a lot of my male friends tell me that I come across as intimidating.

“It takes a very secure man to support, encourage and love someone who is successful, beautiful and has everything going for them. Because you [the man] have to bring a lot to the table. I don’t have to prove what I am bringing to your table, you have to show me what you’re bringing to my table. You’ve to level up and beat my level.

“It takes a lot for a man to do that and for him to be secure in his masculinity and not feel like the successful woman is overbearing.”
