Waje Speaks On Dating MI

Popular Nigerian singer Aituaje Iruobe, known as Waje, has dismissed reports claiming that she dated rapper M.I.

Abia Radio News recalls that the duo sparked dating speculations after they collaborated on multiple romantic songs in the 2010s.

However, speaking during a recent episode of The Honest Bunch podcast, the singer denied ever being in a romantic relationship with M.I.

She said, “Because of the rollout and romantic theme of my collaborative song with M.I, One Naira, a lot of people speculated that we were dating. But we never dated. We were just friends who saw how great a love story in a song could be, so we created characters that would help drive the song.

“His then-girlfriend was even the one who did the voice-over, not me.” 

Waje also opened up about her preferences when it comes to choosing a life partner.

She said she cannot date or marry a man who is struggling financially.

Giving a reason for her decision, the mother of one explained that she is no longer in her 20s and does not have the time and patience to grow together with any man.

She said, “I can’t marry someone who is not successful, and here’s why: first of all, I’m not in my 20s so we are not growing together.

“A man leads, he leads by selling aspirations to me. I have to aspire to see him lead. And if he can’t inspire me to grow, we can’t be partners. So, success is part of it. Faith and emotional intelligence are also part of it.”

Speaking further, Waje revealed that she cannot date a younger man, stressing that they would not be a good match.

She added, “We will have issues. I’m very pragmatic. I sometimes I have to hold myself with my siblings, my friends, and my family members. Imagine if it was a husband? He would get tired. I will be treating him like my child. He would hate me.”
