Renowned singer and songwriter, Chike Ezekpeazu Osebuka, widely known as Chike, has reflected on his life before achieving celebrity status.
During an interview with 'The Cable', the musician shared his thoughts on fame and its impact. He expressed contentment with his current fame but revealed his longing for the simplicity of his previous routine as an ordinary individual.
He fondly recalled his ability to casually visit the barbershop for a haircut without the presence of fervent fans disrupting his experience.
In conversation with the host, he articulated, "I have no regrets. When I deliberately began my music career, my aim was always to be recognized solely for my craft. Therefore, I can't say I have regrets, but there are certain things I wish I could still do without attracting undue attention.
For instance, I enjoyed driving to the car wash and attending to my own errands. One of my cherished activities from my past was visiting the barber's shop and getting a haircut. But now, such outings are confined to my home. It involves a lot more time spent indoors. While I'm not particularly extroverted, there are places I enjoy visiting."
Asked about his perspective on the trend of celebrities having children with multiple partners, the artist behind the hit song 'Roju' shared that he doesn't necessarily oppose the idea, although his personal aim doesn't involve having a "baby mama".
Chike remarked, "I hold no grudges against it; for most people, it wasn't a planned outcome. So yes, it's a possibility. When a man and woman share intimate moments, it's only natural that there might be a consequence of that relationship. In years past, such situations were viewed as taboo, but times have changed. I don't have a specific viewpoint on this matter. The intention is to prevent such scenarios, but if they do arise, we'll navigate them as they come."
