In a bold and fiery clapback that has set social media abuzz, Nigerian singer GoodGirlLA has made headlines after declaring she has no plans to get married — not because of societal pressure or lack of options, but because, in her own words, “no man walking this earth deserves a goddess like me.” The self-assured statement came after a follower questioned her desirability as a wife, citing her apparent disinterest in cooking.
It all began when GoodGirlLA posted a photo of herself striking a pose in her sleek, modern kitchen with a cheeky caption: “Took this yesterday in my kitchen that I never cook in.” While the post was clearly playful and reflective of her brand of confidence and humor, one follower didn’t find it amusing. Twitter user @thatbwoytim replied with a tone of judgment, asking, “Who go marry woman wey no like cooking?” — a remark that tapped directly into age-old gender expectations and cultural norms around women's roles in the home.
But the “Bless Me” crooner didn’t hold back. In a direct and unfiltered response, she wrote, “I’m never getting married because no man walking this earth deserves a goddess like me, now what?” The retort was immediate, unapologetic, and packed with the kind of energy that has now turned the interaction into a viral moment.
As expected, the exchange sparked heated discussions across social platforms. While some praised her for standing her ground and challenging outdated stereotypes, others accused her of arrogance and self-centeredness. But if there’s one thing GoodGirlLA has made clear, it’s that she is not here to conform — not to societal pressure, not to patriarchal expectations, and certainly not to anonymous Twitter trolls who think cooking is the sole metric for marriage material.
In a country where cultural expectations often place the burden of domestic duties squarely on women — particularly cooking, cleaning, and child-rearing — GoodGirlLA’s stance comes as a jolt of resistance. Her response highlights the growing divide between modern women carving their paths and traditional mindsets that cling tightly to gendered expectations. And it’s not just about cooking. It’s about the freedom to choose your path as a woman, regardless of what others think that should look like.
Many of her fans applauded her response, with some tweeting, “She said what she said,” and “Normalize women choosing themselves first.” Others noted that the very question posed to her reflects a deeper societal issue: the perception that a woman’s worth is intrinsically tied to her domestic capabilities or her potential as someone’s wife. In that light, GoodGirlLA’s answer becomes more than just a clapback — it becomes a statement of autonomy, power, and unapologetic self-love.
Yet, not everyone saw it that way. Critics accused the singer of being overly dramatic, self-absorbed, and dismissive of the institution of marriage. “So, because you don’t cook, now you’re a goddess and no man deserves you? Please rest,” one user wrote. Others chimed in with age-old warnings about loneliness and aging without a partner, echoing the kind of fear-based rhetoric often thrown at single, successful women who don’t conform to societal expectations.
Still, the singer’s fans remain fiercely loyal. They argue that what GoodGirlLA is doing isn’t about rejecting love or marriage entirely, but rather about rejecting the idea that she must compromise who she is to be deemed worthy of either. And in a world where women are constantly asked to shrink themselves to fit into boxes, her refusal to do so is not only refreshing — it’s revolutionary.
This isn’t the first time GoodGirlLA has made waves with her outspoken nature. Known for her soulful voice, bold fashion sense, and confident personality, she has always marched to the beat of her own drum. Whether it’s through her music, interviews, or social media presence, she consistently encourages women to embrace their individuality and reject limiting societal norms.
Her response to the cooking comment also sheds light on a broader conversation about the modern woman’s role in relationships. While past generations often emphasized domesticity as a requirement for marriage, today’s women are rewriting the rules. Career-driven, independent, and unapologetically themselves, more and more women are choosing to live on their own terms — even if it means being labeled difficult or undesirable by traditional standards.
At the heart of this viral moment lies a truth that many are still reluctant to accept: that women are not defined by their ability to serve others, but by their right to live authentically. And for GoodGirlLA, that authenticity means saying no to marriage if it requires her to dim her light or pretend to be something she’s not.
As the dust settles on the social media storm, one thing is clear — GoodGirlLA is not backing down. She’s not interested in appeasing the critics or conforming to anyone’s version of womanhood. She is, in her own words, a goddess. And if that makes her “unmarriable” in the eyes of some, she seems perfectly content with that.
After all, in an industry and a society where women are often taught to settle, to shrink, or to compromise, choosing yourself might just be the most radical act of all.
