Nigerian singer Tekno has shared his views on modern relationships, claiming that marriages no longer work as they once did and that genuine love has declined in recent years.
Speaking during an interview with Cool FM, the singer attributed the shift to the COVID-19 pandemic, suggesting that couples spending extended periods together made many realise they were no longer compatible.
“People got to spend time with their partners that period so maybe they got to realize they don’t really like them. I feel like since then, people have leaned into this not wanting to love as much.”
Tekno also claimed that changing attitudes toward relationships have become increasingly evident in society, alleging that even the wives of respected public figures are now involved with younger men.
“Marriages don’t work. You even have some of our legends’ wives getting chopped by some of the new boys.”
The singer lamented what he described as the decline of genuine romance, noting that love once played a central role in people’s lives and even in the entertainment industry.
“There was a time where love was a thing, for real. Even our movies revolved around love. Now our movies are just clout and influencing. It doesn’t feel organic.”
He further stressed the importance of giving partners space in relationships, saying, “If you can’t appreciate the absence, the presence doesn’t really make sense.”
