Nigerian singer Chike, known for his soulful, love-themed music, has just dropped a major bombshell. The artist, often dubbed the “Boo of the Booless,” has revealed a surprising take on marriage, calling the idea “a stupid step” in a new interview. Speaking on the WithChude podcast, the 32-year-old artist opened up about his personal beliefs, stating he has no plans to get married anytime soon.
For fans who have fallen in love with his romantic anthems, his next revelation might come as an even bigger shock. Chike explained that his happiness is not tied to love, but rather to money. He was very direct, saying, “For me to be happy, to be honest, I need a lot of money. This is not even canal, I won’t lie to you, I like money. I want money.” This candid statement gives a peek behind the curtain of the artist’s public persona.
During the interview, the singer also shed light on his career journey. He revealed that he never envisioned a life in music early on. According to Chike, it was only after he completed his university education that he decided to pursue singing as a full-time career. He recounted how he “just used to sing and disturb everybody around me” before settling on it as a profession.
He also shared a little about the financial struggles he faced at the beginning of his career, admitting that he had to take on acting jobs for a couple of years just to make ends meet. This behind-the-scenes look at his life shows a different side to the artist we know today. It seems that for Chike, the path to success was a long and difficult one, guided more by a desire for financial stability than by love.
