We’re back, and we’re drawing lines in the sand. In Episode 34, we’re tackling the fine line between being a supportive friend and just being a free service.

Episode 33 is here, and we recorded this one under the sun, so the gist came out hotter 🌞We get into the stigma around vasectomies in African homes, the pressure of family planning, and why “purity culture” makes honest conversations about sex and responsibility feel like a crime.

If you check the records from "Love is Wicked 1," we were both extremely down bad. That episode was heavy; we were trauma dumping and fighting for our lives in the trenches of heartbreak.

KP kicks things off with a serious grievan...

Uzor calls it the ss3fication of Nigerian music. Then we pause for the sweetest audacity of all: IGGFY just...

Every December has its own kind of madness. Detty December. End-of-year nostalgia. Fake “new year, new me” declarations. People entering January with promises they already know they will abandon by the 5th. It is all part of the tradition.

This episode is for everyone who’s felt the weight of growing up. For everyone who’s figuring out how to build community while life keeps pulling people apart. For those who miss how easy friendship used to be, before distance, time zones, and the quiet loneliness of adult life stepped in. We debated the messy timeline topics: Should men want to know if their partner has had multiple abortions? Wh...

As the great philosopher Divine Ikubor once said,  “Love is not a source of income.”  And somehow, that line hits harder the older you get. Episode 19 is for everyone tired of mistaking effort for expense. KP and Uzor talk about dating in this economy, the madness of “apply pressure” culture, and why love shouldn’t feel like a transaction. They share stories, laughter, and a few uncomfortable trut...
