Ugandan singer Laika Music isn’t just known for her voice—she’s also unafraid to speak her mind.
During a candid appearance on Sanyuka Omukwano, the outspoken artist delivered a bold message to men with unrealistic expectations about women’s appearance: if you want her to look flawless, be ready to fund the fantasy.
Laika took a hard stance on a long-standing double standard—where men expect their partners to maintain a “hot” look while offering little to no support.
She made it clear: “If you want your woman to look hot, you have to give her money.”
According to the singer, beauty doesn’t just happen—it takes time, effort, and often, money.
From gym memberships to cosmetic surgery, personal chefs to skincare routines, Laika argued that looking “perfect” is a full-time job in itself. And if a man truly wants his woman to shine physically, he must be willing to invest—emotionally and financially.
“You should even tell her to stop working,” Laika said on air. “Invest in her such that she can gym, undergo surgery. You also have to hire chefs to prepare meals.”
Her comments sparked immediate debate, but the core of her message is hard to ignore: women are often expected to juggle careers, childcare, and housework, yet still appear flawless.
Laika insists that without support, those expectations are not only unfair—they’re unrealistic.
She didn’t just criticize the double standard; she exposed the hidden cost of beauty. “The perfection men often demand comes at a cost,” she concluded. “To attain it, a woman must live in luxury.”
In an age where women are increasingly embracing self-care and financial independence, Laika’s message is both a challenge and a wake-up call: stop demanding luxury looks from women unless you’re willing to help fund the lifestyle that makes them possible.
Whether you agree with her or not, one thing is clear—Laika Music just put the spotlight on a truth many would rather ignore.
