Controversy has erupted on social media after singer Saida Boj made a comment many are calling tone-deaf and elitist, questioning a man’s choice of vehicle:
“How man go fine finish come dey drive Corolla?” she asked, igniting a firestorm of reactions online.
Fans and critics alike slammed the remark as car-shaming and out of touch with everyday realities, arguing that a car does not define a person’s worth or style. Hashtags criticizing her sentiment began trending, with thousands sharing personal stories about success, humility, and judgment-free living.
Some supporters of Saida Boj defended her as joking or speaking casually, but the majority viewed the comment as insensitive and classist, especially in a country where car ownership varies widely among hardworking individuals.
As debates rage online, the incident highlights the power of celebrity words and the backlash that can follow when comments touch on status, appearance, or material possessions.
