Actress Kate Henshaw gets roasted over statement about girls dating Yahoo boys

Nigerian actress Kate Henshaw has recently garnered significant attention on social media due to her response to a young girl’s declaration that she would prefer to date a fraudster, commonly referred to as a “Yahoo boy,” rather than a man with a conventional job.

On October 31, 2024, Henshaw reacted to a viral video featuring the young girl, expressing concern that her choice could lead to her being exploited for rituals associated with such individuals.

She wrote, “Na so dem go take pieces you for ritual…Yeye mindset.”

Henshaw’s comments sparked controversy, with some social media users criticizing her for perceived insensitivity, while others accused her of endorsing the notion of femicide.

An X user asked her, “This is so wrong to say. How is murder justifiable?”

The actress responded, “That’s the value she placed on herself with her words and actions. That’s how she reduced herself to be used by all and sundry. That’s the green light she has put on but that’s OK with you.” Another person warned the actress about her mindset, reminding her that her opinion could have been worded better.

She wrote, “Such a harmful mindset, honestly. She deserves to be butchered?? coming from an older, accomplished woman. This could have been an impactful moment for you to lead younger girls to be better. But of course, if a girl is used for rituals, she must’ve deserved it.”

However, Henshaw retorted, “You can continue to justify her, putting herself on such a low rung of the ladder. Lead her to be better?? Can she not see her mates and how they do not choose this mindset of hers?.. Is she the only one?”

Another comment read, “Her mindset is wrong, but nothing can ever justify murder.”

“Femicide is never justified, even as a joke. It’s not okay to kill or use someone for ritual because of their wrong mindset.”
