Nasboi's Take on Retrieving Gifts After a Breakup Sparks Debate

Nasboi, the popular content creator and singer, recently weighed in on a topic that always seems to stir strong opinions: Should you retrieve gifts from a partner after a breakup? His stance? It’s downright embarrassing.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Nasboi didn’t hold back, calling the act of taking back gifts after a relationship ends undignified. “I think it is embarrassing to collect a gift you bought for your partner after break-up. I go just leave am for you,” he wrote.

Honestly, I can’t help but agree with him. Taking back a gift feels like undoing a moment of love or care that was once genuine. At the time, the gift was given freely—so why attach conditions to it after things fall apart? Nasboi’s perspective speaks to the maturity and respect that should ideally mark the end of a relationship, even when emotions are raw.

But this does raise some questions. What if the gift is something significant, like a car, a house, or something sentimental with deep meaning? Should there be exceptions, or is it still embarrassing to take it back, no matter the context?

Personally, I think holding on to a gift is a small way to honor the memories of a relationship that once mattered. Plus, demanding it back could do more damage than good, making an already difficult situation even messier.

What’s your take? Is it embarrassing, as Nasboi suggests, or are there circumstances where retrieving a gift feels justified? Let’s talk about it.
