Nigerian singer, Augustine Kelechi, popularly known as Tekno, has shared his observation about love over the years, claiming that since after 2020, love has not been the same.

Speaking in a recent interview with Cool FM Lagos, the ‘Pana’ crooner said he believes people grew fatigue of love after spending more time than usual with their lovers in 2020 due to the COVID-19 lockdown. 

He also claimed that marriages stopped working after 2020, and infidelity skyrocketed. 

He said, “I think since after 2020, love is not the same. I think during the lockdown people got to spend time with their lovers and realised ‘maybe I didn’t love this person as much as I think.’ I think we just grew fatigued of the ones we thought we loved the most. 

“If you can’t appreciate the absence then the presence doesn’t really matter. So, I feel like since 2020, people have leaned into not wanting to love as much. Marriages don’t work. You have some of our legends’ wives being chopped by young boys.

“There was a time when love was a thing, even our movies revolve around love. But now movies are just clout. It doesn’t feel organic.”

Love not same after year 2020 – Tekno claims 

Music star, Augustine Kelechi, alias Tekno, has opened up about the stigmatisation he faced while battling severe vocal cord damage from acid reflux that led to his career decline.

DAILY POST recalls that Tekno, at the peak of his fame in 2018-2021, suffered severe vocal cord damage, during which he couldn’t sing and was forced into a multi-year hiatus, which disrupted his momentum. 

Revisiting his ordeal in a recent interview with Cool FM Lagos, Tekno said during his struggle with vocal cord disease, he “hated” music and was only forcing himself to make music occasionally because of his recording deal yet the people around him labelled him “lazy” for slowing down the pace of his work. 

He, however, admitted that he initially kept his ailment secret even from closed ones and team members. 

He said this led to his team thinking he was being lazy about making music or performing during the period he was battling severe vocal cord damage. 

The singer said, “Even the people closest to me were saying that ‘he is just lazy. He doesn’t want to perform..’. I was in a very dark place. Even after I recovered, I hated music. I didn’t want to hear music for a long time. I was only forcing myself to do music because I had a deal with Universal.”

Tekno said reading inspirational books made him healed emotionally and reconnected with music.
