Singer Jidenna Begs All Women He ‘Used & Dumped’ In The Past
Jidenna has expressed remorse for his past behaviour towards women and sought their forgiveness during a recent podcast.
He acknowledged that he had deprived some of them of their ability to have children, which he deeply regrets. The discussion took place on the debut episode of the What’s Underneath Masculinity podcast, which was released on November 9th.
“I robbed some women of their baby-making years, dragging them along. They built me up,” he began. “Look at me now! And look at them! If you were creative, I folded you into my artwork. If you were in my artwork, I would give you a job. I gave you a job, I mastered your life. I gave you a house, and food. Everything you needed, I protected and provided for you. I did what men are ‘supposed’ to do.”
He continued: “I remember different quotes I said. Just really manipulative things like, ‘No one is gonna love you the way I do.’ Oh my god! I’m ashamed of it! and that’s what makes me angry when I see my brothers do that. We can’t do that to the women who have done so much for us to even exist. And I saw myself for the first time — all the things I’m saying now? Woo, horror.
“Bit by bit I stripped myself of my former self and I swore that the next relationship that I would get in, I would work as hard at love as I have worked in my career,” he concluded.
