Trick Daddy’s Dating Rules: Brutal Honesty, Age Limits, and the Debate Over “Damaged Goods”
Is Trick Daddy speaking uncomfortable truths, or just fanning the flames of controversy for the sake of headlines? The 51-year-old Miami rap veteran — known offstage as Maurice Samuel Young — has sparked a new wave of online debate after bluntly declaring that women over 35 are, in his words, “damaged goods.”
An Unfiltered Conversation with Nene Leakes
The comments came during a candid sit-down on The Nene Leakes Show, where the former Real Housewives of Atlanta star pressed him about his relationship status. Trick Daddy didn’t hesitate — he’s “wide open,” dating multiple women at once, though he insists he’s selective.
“I’m a pleaser,” he said, adding with a grin, “I’ve gone down on a woman without even trying to have s*x after. I’m a September Libra.”
But when the topic turned to dating women closer to his own age, Trick Daddy drew a hard line.
Aside from a rare exception or two, he admitted he avoids women over 35 because, in his view, they have “too high standards, too many emotions, and carry too much baggage from past relationships.”
The Clash Over Emotional “Damage”
Leakes, herself a widow since losing her husband Gregg to colon cancer in 2021, pushed back, saying she’s far from damaged. Trick Daddy countered that emotional scars aren’t always obvious — and insisted that older women could find more happiness if they “lowered their standards and opened up their guidelines.”
He painted himself as a “real man” who treats women like wives, but not everyone was buying it. The conversation, peppered with humor and bluntness, left social media split between those calling his views misogynistic and others applauding his no-filter approach.
Stirring More Than One Pot
True to form, Trick Daddy didn’t stop there. In the same interview, he reignited an old controversy by doubling down on his opinion that Beyoncé “can’t sing” and isn’t a true vocalist — a statement sure to spark another round of online firestorms.
Beyond Shock Value
Whether you see Trick Daddy’s comments as outdated or refreshingly direct, they tap into ongoing cultural tensions around age, attraction, and what people bring into relationships after decades of living and loving.
His remarks force a question that reaches far beyond one podcast episode: Are these views a personal preference, a reflection of broader industry attitudes toward women and aging — or both?
