To the question “why African parents are so obsessed with marriage”, he responded,
“I don’t know why they are so obsessed with marriage and a lot of them aren’t happy in their marriage, like the older generation. So you want me to like meet someone and marry them and just be managing them. I don’t know, I hate slavery.”
