Controversial Nigerian hip-hop artist, Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington, has recently opened up about the reasons behind his inability to embrace monogamy.
According to him, monogamy is alien to African culture adding that men encounter numerous temptations when they engage in relationships or marriages with only a single woman.
The U.S.-based rapper stated this during the most recent episode of The Honest Bunch podcast, which is co-hosted by actor Nedu, Husband Material, and Deity Cole.
In his words, “Men are not supposed to be with one woman. There’s so much temptation with one. The temptation is great.”
“We feel like we’re smarter than other animals; we wear clothes, we invent things to make our lives easy. So, we automatically believe that we are sharper. We are forcing ourselves into this principle of one woman.”
“Africa and the entire black race, we are not the race of one woman.”
Meanwhile, he said he hopes his partner would be open to polygamy.
