Following the release of the song, Daniel Regha has criticized them for belittling men.

He noted how Simi is married and Tiwa Savage has a young son, yet they were trashing men in their song.

Calling the song disrespectful, he stated that Tiwa referencing men are scum in her verse is insensitive as he questioned if this is the best they could do after all these years.

“Simi is happily married, while Tiwa Savage has a young son, but both came together to belittle men in the name of a music collab. Their recent song “Men Are Crazy” is beyond disrespectful & Tiwa referencing “Men are scum” in her verse is insensitive. After all these years this is the best they can collab on? Disgraceful!”.
