Media mogúl Mo Abudu has opened up about her personal life and the idea of dating younger men. In an interview with Toke Makinwa, she said she can’t cry over a man nor can she suffer heartbreak at her age. “Heartbreak. Nobody can break my heart. It’s not possible. Heartbreak. There’s no such thing as heartbreak at my age. If I cry, it’s not because of a man. It may be because of my work.
Sharing a message with women, she told them they can’t make a man be in a relationship. She admonished them to leave any man who isn’t interested in them. “Listen, you cannot make a man be in a relationship with you. If he wants to be, he will. If he doesn’t want to be in it, he’s kidding you. Leave him. Move on. He doesn’t want to be there. You have to get over it, because you need to read the writing, guys.
It is easy. Because don’t downgrade yourself in front of anybody. And to young girls, don’t downgrade yourself m He will sleep with you. He will deceive you. He will lie to you, and you’re still there. Doing what? Pressure of what? Or be with a man – a man that doesn’t want you? You know in your gut that he’s messing around. True. Because he hasn’t called you for two weeks. He’s ghosting you.
He’s telling you he’s busy doing what? Chasing somebody else. If you see those kinds of people, leave them alone. Those types of people don’t want you. Please ladies. Anybody can have you. But what does it take? “If I’m crying, it might be bcos of my work; and not a man, a man cannot make me cry. He’ll sleep with you, deceive you, lie to you and you’re still there? Doing what?… I’m at the point in my life where in other for me to respect a man, you must have achieved something.
I’m 62… pic.twitter.com/gWVgDx01zh — Usuals🌝 (@its_usuals) October 15, 2026 In September, Mo, had turned 62 in style. She shared stunning photos of herself in a black suit and said her heart is full. While giving thanks to her Maker, she stated that her best was yet to come. As part of her birthday celebration, Abudu, shared a word of advice, admonishing the public not to let their age stop them from achieving their dreams.
Using herself as an example, she noted how she didn’t allow age limit her purpose and started building her empire at 50. Two years ago, Forbes ranked the Ebony Life CEO as the 97th most powerful woman in the world. Sharing the news with her followers, Mo said she was humbled to be ranked among the top women, alongside Nigeria’s Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. She cheered on others on the list, changing the narrative around different colours and backgrounds.
In 2023, Abudu topped the list of highest-grossing movie producers alongside Funke Akindele and Ayo Makun. Earlier this year, Mo Abudu, had celebrated Funke, Toyin and Ini Edo for their massive pull at the cinema. She described them as phenomenal queens and praised them for creating magic, breaking barriers, and showing the unstoppable strength of women in film. In 2023, an alleged report made rounds of how Funke pressured media mogul, Mo Abudu to decast Toyin Abraham from Chief Daddy’s movie and replace her with Kate Henshaw, which Mo succumbed to.
The blogger further claimed that Funke did the same with Beverly Osu but for the intervention of Joke Silva, Beverly was saved.
