A statement by popular media personality Kosi has gone viral on Sunday, 19 July 2026. In a video that is now trending, Kosi said: “I’m not in support of men beating women. But even if you’re married to my sister and she hits you first, return the energy immediately. There’s no rule that says only women are allowed to hit men.”
The comment has caused a lot of arguments online. Many people are talking about it, with some supporting Kosi’s view and others calling it dangerous.Watch Video Here
Domestic violence is a serious issue in Nigeria. Experts always advise people not to hit their partners, no matter what. But Kosi’s words have opened fresh discussion on what should happen if a woman hits a man first.
Reactions on Social Media
The video has drawn mixed reactions from Nigerians on X and other platforms.
Some men agreed with Kosi. One user wrote: “Finally someone is saying the truth. Abuse is abuse, whether from man or woman. No one should tolerate beating.”
Others supported the idea of self-defence: “If she hits you first, you have the right to protect yourself. Marriage is not a boxing ring, but fairness matters.”
