Media personality and online creator King Kalala has claimed that most men in today’s society are financially and socially dependent on women.

Speaking when she hosted philosopher Julian Rose for an interview on Saturday, September 6, 2025, Kalala said that one of the truths she felt compelled to share was that the majority of men are now being sustained by women, a reality she noted has become increasingly visible across households and relationships.

She pointed out that this reversal of traditional roles was not only an economic shift but also a reflection of deeper struggles many men face.

“The truth I feel I have for today is to say that most men today are being fed by women,” King Kalala said.

Therapy

In the same interview, Kalala explained that she had recently been in discussion with a guest about the challenges of mental health and therapy, adding that her reservations about counselling stem from how complex and intimidating the human mind can be.

She noted that for her, it is not always about simplifying emotions or directing thoughts to leave, but rather about the realisation that when one retreats inward and begins to examine life’s difficulties, the issues can feel overwhelming.

“We were just having a conversation with our previous guest and I was telling her that one of the reasons I do not want to go for therapy is because the mind is a very scary place,” she added.

According to Kalala, people are often left with little time to truly process their struggles, as they find themselves trapped in a cycle of overthinking rather than finding clarity.

She described this as a personal reason why she avoids therapy, since it forces individuals to sit with their problems in a way that can feel suffocating rather than liberating.

“When you make it sound so simple, as if you can just tell something disturbing you to leave, it does not work that way. When you go inside your head and think about your problems, you do not have time to escape them. You begin to fully understand what you are going through,” she noted.

Dating older men

Earlier on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, Kalala spoke out strongly against the normalisation of the sugar daddy lifestyle, making it clear that not even life’s darkest seasons could ever convince her to take that path.

Speaking during an interview with a local TV station about her journey after leaving her radio job, Kalala did not shy away from describing just how difficult things became.

With bills piling up and her independence at risk, Kalala said she had to swallow her pride and turn to her parents for help, who eventually stepped in and paid a rent bill of Ksh100,000 that had accumulated.

Yet despite facing such financial strain, she maintained that she never considered turning to older, wealthier men for assistance, a route many young women find themselves pressured into under the weight of economic survival.

“On sugar daddies. That one, I will not tolerate. I will never. I believe that as girls, we go through so much in life. When we are young, society wants us to be independent and strong. But when we grow older, they say, Now that girl has a PhD, she cannot obey; she cannot listen to anything.”
