Speaking during a podcast section with Pulse, the singer stated: “I disagree. Because we women have had long throat since the beginning of time, you know, but our transactional was different because if it was all those like secondary school to uni days of holding hands or crushing on a girl or a boy, you know, you just stay there, buy them ice cream and popcorn. But now, it’s now iPhone.”
Explaining further, she said people often misunderstand the word “transactional,” stressing that mutual effort is a normal part of relationships.

“There’s always been some level of transaction. So when you use the word transactional, you make it like, it’s so strong a word. If you are feeling somebody, like I always encourage that if I’m with a man that showers gifts on me and, you know, I always try to match that energy.”
She also addressed public perception, noting that women are often seen as only receiving, even when they reciprocate in different ways.

“But most people don’t see the women matching the energy. They just see the women only collecting. So men, they go overboard sometimes, just especially because some men tend to like shiny objects. And shiny objects, not the only one person they like. So everybody is struggling to get that shiny object.”
She concluded by highlighting consistency as a major issue in modern relationships, saying effort often fades after initial attraction.
