*On a recent episode of his podcast “The Truth After Dark,” former NBA star Paul Pierce sparked heated debate after stating that Black men should seek relationships with women from other countries.
As BET.com reports, Pierce pointed to cultural differences as his main reason, claiming that foreign women are more respectful, supportive, and less driven by materialism or social media validation.
“He’s outta here with American women. He got himself a princess from Dubai. That’s what Black men need to be doing,” said Pierce, referencing rapper French Montana as a model for dating abroad.
“These women overseas, they appreciate you. They put you first. They ain’t on Instagram shaking for likes,” he continued.
Pierce asserted that American women — particularly Black women — tend to dismiss men who lack financial wealth.

“In America, if you’re broke, you ain’t getting no love,” he said. “You gotta take ’em shopping. You gotta buy ’em something. Overseas, you can show up with a couple hundred dollars, and they treat you like a king.”
He added that the allure of social media makes it increasingly difficult to build genuine relationships in the U.S.
“You can’t compete with the internet,” Pierce argued. “These women out here getting compliments all day from 100 dudes. What you supposed to do with that?”
Pierce’s co-host, Azar, quickly pushed back, challenging his narrative.
“Some women will sleep with you for $25” in other countries, she noted. “Over here, the price is up. That’s the only difference.”
Pierce remained firm in his stance, blaming the pursuit of digital validation for the breakdown in modern dating.
“That’s why it’s so hard to date here. Everybody is chasing status,” he concluded. “Overseas, it’s about love.”
