During a recent appearance on the WithChude podcast, the singer gave his honest opinion about marriage. “In my personal opinion, in fact, I think it’s stupid to get married,” the singer said. “That’s my opinion.”
Although he is known for his love-themed songs, Chike said he’s more focused on financial stability than he is on finding love.
“For me to be happy, to be honest, I need a lot of money,” he continued. “This is not even canal, I won’t lie to you, I like money, I want money.”
Chike Also Opens Up About His Music Career
Continuing to chat about his music career, the singer said he went into the industry after graduating from college.
“I would say maybe right after my university, I knew music is what I’ll do for a living,” he recalled. “I won’t say I knew before, to be honest, because I just used to sing and disturb everybody around me.”
However, he pointed out that he struggled financially right at the start of his career and had to take acting jobs to get by.
“It was a rough part,” he recalled. “I even had to start acting for like two years.”
