Chike Ose-buka, a former reality TV star and Afro-soul artist, recently offered insights into his mental well-being and his unique take on expressing love.
In an exclusive interview with TheCable, Chike delved into how he's managed to steer clear of scandals since his breakthrough in the music industry half a decade ago.
The gifted singer attributed his clean reputation to his knack for finding a balance and effectively handling challenges related to his career.
Chike emphasized that almost anything can be blown up into a scandal, but the outcome depends on the individuals involved and their approach to resolving issues.
During the candid conversation, Chike shed light on his remark about not openly confessing his love to women.
Chike reiterated that actions hold more weight than words, especially in matters of love, and he views himself as someone who demonstrates affection through actions rather than declarations.
According to the artist, he firmly believes that a man's primary responsibility is to be a provider. He pointed out that tangible acts of love carry more significance than mere verbal affirmations.
In his own words:
"I have never said 'I love you.' I guess for me that's just too vulnerable. I get that feeling that if I say it, my confidence would waver and maybe even disappear. I'm content that I get to express it through my music, though. 😌"
"I think there was a misunderstanding, but love can be conveyed through various languages: through providing, through presence. I strive to score a perfect 100 percent in those areas."
"A man's foremost responsibility to a significant other is to provide. Uttering 'I love you' without backing it up with actual financial support or provision could lead to issues. You know, they say love is sweeter when there's financial stability."
