Nigerian singer Chike has stirred reactions online after opening up about his views on relationships, marriage, and family structure.
Speaking during an interview, the singer revealed that although he is not interested in getting married anytime soon, he already knows he wants to have a daughter in the future. Chike also stated that he pays attention to whether a woman grew up with her father present in her life, claiming it can affect relationships later on.
“I’m not interested in walking down the aisle anytime soon, but I already know I want a daughter. I’ve noticed that women who grow up without a father in their lives often have a messed-up love life, so one of the first things I ask a woman I meet is, ‘Where’s your father?’”
The statement quickly sparked debate across social media, with many users criticizing the singer for generalizing women based on their upbringing, while others reacted humorously.
