‘Classic Man’ hitmaker Jidenna is remorseful for his behavior of lying to women that he loved them when in reality he was only seeking unlimited access to their cookie jars.
Jidenna opened up about his manipulative past in a conversation on the premiere episode of the podcast, What’s Underneath: Masculinity.
The singer said he has come to the realization that he did not treat women well in the past.
Jidenna regretted that he robbed some women of their baby-baby-making years.
“I robbed some women of their baby-making years, dragging them along. They built me up. Look at me now! And look at them! If you were a creative, I folded you into my artwork. If you were in my artwork, I gave you a job. I gave you a job, I mastered your life. I gave you a house, food. Everything you needed, I protected and provided for you. I did what men are ‘supposed’ to do,” Jidenna narrated.
He added that he is ashamed of the things he did to women.
“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 said.
