Renowned Nigerian singer, Chike Ezekpeazu Osebuka, popularly known as Chike, recently opened up about his romantic preferences, shedding light on why he gravitates towards relationships with older women.
In a revealing interview on the Unpack Podcast hosted by NAY, the ‘Running To You’ crooner shared his insights into love, communication, and the dynamics that shape his choice in partners.
At 30 years old, Chike boldly stated that his inclination towards older women stems from his belief that most individuals, especially women, are better able to communicate effectively when they have gained some life experience and maturity.
He expressed this sentiment, saying, “Most can’t communicate properly. The time you start finding a woman who can communicate, they are slightly advanced in age. Not a girl of 23 years.”
In a society often influenced by conventional norms, Chike’s candid perspective challenges stereotypical notions surrounding age in romantic relationships.
He emphasized the significance of effective communication as a cornerstone for successful partnerships, asserting that older women tend to possess this quality to a greater extent.
Chike’s appearance on the Unpack Podcast provided listeners with a deeper understanding of the artist’s views on love and relationships.
He elaborated on the challenges of dating younger women, highlighting the potential disparities in priorities and communication styles. “Imagine I’m running around with some 23-year-old, what’s she going to handle? What’s she going to understand? She just wanna take pictures and be on Instagram and tell everybody that she’s dating you. What are you unpacking for that person?” he mused.
The singer acknowledged that while there are mature younger women, they are relatively rare. He argued that older women often exhibit a level of maturity and dedication that aligns with his own aspirations.
“Let’s be honest, you can find younger women who are so mature, but they are rare. But you find it more in older women,” he explained.
Chike delved into the societal perceptions surrounding men who choose to date older women, emphasizing that such decisions are often rooted in a pursuit of peace and compatibility.
“It’s because as a guy when you are getting to a place where you want a certain level of peace, it’s only older women that can give you that,” he shared.
Opening up about his personal experiences, Chike revealed that the past two relationships he has been in involved partners who were older than him.
He debunked any notion of dating younger women, stating, “There is no small girl that can say I am dating her. I mean, I probably just say ‘Hi’ to them [younger women]. And that’s it. It’s not going to get past that. Because I know where it’s going. Our visions are just not the same.”
Chike did, however, specify an exception, noting that he could engage with younger women who are career-oriented and dedicated to their pursuits.
This nuanced perspective adds layers to his stance, emphasizing the importance of shared values and goals in building meaningful connections.
In the world of celebrity interviews, Chike’s openness about his romantic preferences provides a refreshing and thought-provoking take on love, challenging societal norms and encouraging a more nuanced conversation about relationships.
As he continues to make waves in the music industry, Chike’s candid revelations on love contribute to a broader dialogue on the diverse paths individuals take in their pursuit of happiness and fulfillment.
