I robbed many women of their baby-making years – Jidenna speaks on being toxic (Video)
Nigerian American artist Jidenna Mobisson has openly acknowledged being a toxic partner in his past relationships. He candidly admitted to negatively impacting many women’s lives by taking away their opportunities for starting a family while they were in a dating relationship.
In the inaugural episode of the What’s Underneath: Masculinity podcast, Jidenna expressed remorse for his past behavior, recognizing the harm he caused to the women he was involved with. Reflecting on his own toxicity, he shared that witnessing other young men replicate similar behavior saddened him.
Despite acknowledging the negative impact he had on those women, Jidenna acknowledged that his experiences with them played a crucial role in his personal growth, emphasizing that they contributed to shaping the person he has become.
He said, “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 mastered your life. I gave a house, food, everything you need. I protected and provided for you. I did what men are supposed to do.
“I remember different quotes I said like just like really manipulated things to say like, ‘No one is going to love you the way I do.’ Oh my God! I’m ashamed of it.”
In discussing his intentions for future relationships, Jidenna expressed a commitment to change. He vowed to invest the same level of love and care in his personal relationships as he does in his music.
This declaration suggests a conscious effort on his part to prioritize emotional well-being and positive dynamics in his future partnerships, marking a shift away from the toxic patterns he recognized in his past behavior.
He said; “I would get in, I will work as hard at love as I worked in my career”.
