In a candid conversation on the Ada’s Room podcast, the 33-year-old artist revealed that his mother advised him against marrying someone who does not bring value to his life, regardless of romantic feelings. She reportedly cautioned him against entering a union with women from poor families or those without a source of livelihood.
According to Chike, his mother emphasized that marrying into financial dependence can become a significant burden. “I think everybody should look for a partner that has value. Personally, my mum advised me never to settle down with a woman who doesn’t have a source of livelihood regardless of love,” he said.
He further explained that his mother warned against taking on the responsibilities of a partner whose family relies heavily on her financially, particularly firstborns who may carry unproductive familial obligations.
Chike noted that he personally evaluates potential partners based on their family background and productivity before considering deeper commitments. He encouraged men to look beyond physical attraction and intimacy when entering relationships, especially those with the potential for marriage.
The singer’s reflections provide a rare glimpse into how family guidance continues to shape his approach to relationships, blending traditional values with personal considerations in modern romance.
