Tokischa Recalls Turning to Sugar Dating During a Financial Crisis
Tokischa told a Bogotá concert audience that she looked for a sugar daddy when she had no room, job or financial stability. The story is her own comic retelling of a pressured period, not an independently verified account.
During Rosalía’s Bogotá concert, Dominican artist Tokischa used an onstage confessional segment to revisit a period when she said she was broke, without a room or a job, and still in a relationship. She told the audience that she decided to look for a sugar daddy because she needed a way to support herself. Tokischa said her boyfriend at the time objected, although both were struggling financially. She recalled finding a prospective benefactor who proposed an encounter involving another woman, so she invited a close friend who was also related to her boyfriend.
According to her account, the meeting did not unfold as the man expected and instead became a comic memory shared between the two women. She said the episode ended in an argument after she returned home, and she and her friend then went out together. Tokischa tells the episode for laughs, yet the reason she gives for entering sugar dating is blunt: she needed housing and income. That tension between the comic delivery and the financial pressure is the part of the anecdote that carries beyond its celebrity setting. This is Tokischa’s retrospective first-person account delivered as entertainment onstage. LOS40 reported what she said, but the underlying events and other people’s perspectives were not independently verified.
