Social media was sent into a frenzy after Nigerian businesswoman and influencer, Miz Wanneka, popularly known as the “Hair Boss,” shared a rather shocking direct message her husband received from a bold lady who openly asked to become his second wife. The message, which has since gone viral, sparked waves of laughter, disbelief, and plenty of side-eye reactions from fans across Instagram and X.
It all started when Wanneka took to her Instagram story to reveal the cheeky DM that landed in her husband’s inbox. The message read, “Please can u marry me as a second wife... Wanneka must not see this ooo... she will kpai me.” The unidentified lady, clearly aware of who she was messaging, still went ahead to shoot her shot, praying that Miz Wanneka wouldn’t find out. Unfortunately for her, Wanneka not only saw it — she also posted it for the world to see.
Reacting in her signature playful yet savage tone, the Hair Boss wrote, “Meanwhile, in the midst of our struggle that week, there’s someone somewhere who wants my husband to marry her as a second wife. He gets a lot of similar DMs but this one dearrrrrrr, she is too young to marry me but he is not too young to marry a second wife. If you like, mind world people. I’ll cover your name for your sanity tho.”
Wanneka didn’t stop there. With a dose of humor that only she can pull off, she added, “Anyways he is Muslim and just maybe can marry four sef, but will you really like me well oo? Crazyyyy people. Also, Wanne saw it sorry boo. Beg him well next time, asa co-wife my sister, you think am.”
That closing line — “asa co-wife my sister, you think am” — sent social media users into a full laughter marathon. Many praised her for handling the situation with grace and humor instead of anger or confrontation. Others, however, couldn’t help but discuss how wild and audacious some DMs can get these days.
Fans flooded her comment section and reposts with reactions ranging from amused to outright stunned. One user wrote, “This generation is fearless. Imagine telling a man’s wife to her face that you want to be her co-wife!” Another commented, “At least she asked politely. Maybe she thought being a second wife would be easier than being a girlfriend.” A third simply said, “That lady has coconut head — pure Gen Z boldness.”
The whole episode quickly became a hot topic across gossip blogs and Twitter trends, sparking conversations about boundaries, polygamy, and respect in modern marriages. While some users teased Wanneka’s husband for being “DM famous,” others joked that the lady must have seen something “divine” in him to risk her digital dignity like that.
Miz Wanneka, who is known for her transparency about her life, business, and marriage, didn’t appear upset by the proposal. Instead, she turned the moment into a teachable — and hilarious — online moment. Her response showed the confidence of a woman secure in her marriage and unbothered by random social media antics. It also reflected her personality: outspoken, witty, and fearless.
Interestingly, her acknowledgment that her husband is Muslim — and therefore technically permitted to marry up to four wives — added an extra twist to the conversation. Some people jokingly suggested that the lady might have seen her chance to apply “legally.” But Wanneka’s response made it clear she wasn’t threatened; she was simply amused by how bold people could be.
One fan humorously wrote, “If your husband is fine and rich, expect applications from the public. This one just applied for position number two.” Another added, “Miz Wanneka is not the type you sneak around — she will catch you and post your message for all of us to laugh at.”
Social media users also pointed out that this isn’t the first time Wanneka has openly discussed the kind of messages and advances her husband receives. In previous posts, she had hinted that fame and visibility often attract unsolicited attention, especially from women who see marriage as a competition. Yet, she has always handled it with maturity and laughter instead of confrontation.
It’s clear that Miz Wanneka’s lighthearted reaction resonated with her audience. In a world where online drama often spirals into insults and outrage, her ability to make a potential scandal into a comic moment earned her even more admiration. Many fans described her as “real,” “secure,” and “too funny to be stressed.”
As the story continued to trend, some women admitted that they admired Wanneka’s calmness but couldn’t promise they’d react the same way if it happened to them. “If it was me, that girl’s ancestors would feel my response,” one commenter wrote. Another chimed in, “My husband’s DM is not for public applications, abeg. I’d block and delete before she finishes typing ‘second wife.’”
Yet, beneath the jokes, the incident revealed something deeper about the social media age — where personal relationships are no longer entirely private. The ease with which strangers slide into people’s DMs, even those who are publicly married, has become almost normalized. From celebrities to influencers to regular couples, many now share stories of unwanted attention, public flirtations, and audacious “applications.”
Wanneka’s story stood out not just because of the message itself but because of how she chose to share it. Rather than express insecurity or anger, she turned it into relatable content. Her response showed emotional intelligence — the kind of confidence that comes with knowing exactly who you are and where you stand.
At the end of her post, she even joked about covering the sender’s name “for sanity,” acknowledging that online exposure can easily turn into cyberbullying. In doing so, she kept the humor while avoiding cruelty — another reason why many fans respect her approach.
The viral DM saga will probably fade soon, but it has added yet another iconic moment to Miz Wanneka’s long list of social media highlights. Her ability to turn awkward or even disrespectful situations into comic gold remains unmatched. As one fan perfectly put it, “Only Wanneka can make someone flirting with her husband trend for the right reasons.”
And as for the young lady who sent the DM, well, she has now achieved what many bold social media users only dream of — viral fame. Though her identity remains hidden, her message has been seen by thousands. Whether she regrets it or not, one thing is certain: next time, she might just “beg well,” as Wanneka teased.
In an online world where jealousy and drama often dominate conversations about love and marriage, Miz Wanneka has once again shown that laughter might just be the best clapback.
