Gambian actress and social media personality Princess Shyngle has sparked intense debate after publicly calling out married women and women in committed relationships who slide into her direct messages to beg for money.

In a fiery video shared on her Instagram page, the curvy actress expressed disbelief that so many of the people asking her for financial help are not single, but women who openly claim to have husbands, fiancés or boyfriends. She questioned why, despite having partners, they still turn to a single woman like her for financial support.

Princess Shyngle argued that financial hardship should not be the reality for women who are in relationships with men who profess love and commitment. In her view, “struggling” ought to be the burden of single women who have no one to rely on but themselves.

She lamented that the majority of those begging her for money online are married or attached, and challenged them to look first to the men in their lives. According to her, it is contradictory for such women to flaunt their relationships publicly, mock single women for not being married, yet secretly depend on those same single women for financial rescue.

Shyngle contrasted their situation with her own, describing single women as the ones who hustle daily, shoulder their bills alone and often go without emotional or physical companionship. She painted a picture of single women grinding to survive, without a partner to share their burdens, while some married women enjoy the benefits of a relationship but still outsource their financial problems.

Her outburst has reignited conversations about gender roles, financial responsibility in relationships and the pressures placed on both single and married women. Supporters say she is highlighting men who fail to provide for partners they publicly claim, while critics argue that anyone, regardless of relationship status, can face financial hardship and seek help.

Princess Shyngle’s message, however, remained blunt: women who proudly carry marriage “like a trophy” yet secretly beg single women for money, she insisted, should be ashamed of themselves.
