Social media personality King Kalala has sparked debate after responding to students who complained about receiving little pocket money from their parents.
In her remarks, Kalala challenged students to shift their mindset and become more financially independent instead of relying fully on family support. She encouraged them to explore side hustles that can help them generate their own income while still in school.
According to her, many young people misuse the little money they receive by spending it on partying and unnecessary luxuries. She urged students to prioritize their needs and channel their energy into productive activities that can build their future.
Kalala’s message has received mixed reactions online. While some agreed with her stance, saying it promotes responsibility and independence, others argued that balancing schoolwork and side hustles can be difficult for many students.
The conversation highlights a growing reality among young people today—where financial independence is increasingly seen as a necessary skill even during school years.
