I don’t believe in the concept of a girlfriend, I start with courtship – Layi Wasabi
Nigerian comedian and actor, Isaac Olayiwola, professionally known as Layi Wasabi, has said that he doesn’t believe in the concept of a “girlfriend.”
Appearing on the ‘Is This Seat Taken?’ podcast hosted by actress Chinasa Anukam, Layi explained that he prefers “partnership” to the word “girlfriend.”
“I don’t believe in the concept of a girlfriend. I believe in partnership. I don’t believe in that phase of girlfriends. I start with courtship. I have to see the wife in the person from the beginning,” the comedian said.
The host, Chinasa, inferred, “That speaks a level of focus. That’s fine.”
Wasabi also disclosed that he has only been on dates four times, saying his ideal partner is a tall woman, emphasizing that height is the first thing he notices in women.
