“Honey Na Money” is a song by Nigerian musician Timaya, which plays on the proverb “money is honey” to describe a relationship where a woman is only interested in a man for his wealth. The song’s lyrics tell how a man’s behavior changes in the eyes of women depending on his financial status, with them flocking to him when he has money and abandoning him when he doesn’t.
