Speaking in a recent interview with Cool FM Lagos, the Pana hitmaker said spending extended periods together during the lockdown made many couples reassess their relationships.

According to Tekno, the experience left some people emotionally exhausted and less willing to invest in love after discovering their feelings were not as strong as they had believed.

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

The singer argued that time apart plays an important role in sustaining relationships, adding that constant proximity can diminish appreciation between partners.

Tekno also claimed that marriages have become less stable since 2020 and suggested that cases of infidelity have increased. He further lamented what he described as the decline of genuine love stories in entertainment, saying many films now prioritise social media attention over authentic storytelling.

His remarks have since sparked debate online, with many weighing in on whether the pandemic permanently changed the dynamics of modern relationships.

The singer recalled that the condition interrupted his music career at the height of his success between 2018 and 2021, forcing him to step away from performing and recording for an extended period.

Speaking in a recent interview with Cool FM Lagos, Tekno said he kept his health struggles private, including from members of his team, which led many around him to misunderstand his absence from the music scene.

According to him, the lack of awareness about his condition resulted in accusations that he was unwilling to work or perform.

“Even the people closest to me were saying, ‘He is just lazy. He doesn’t want to perform,'” he said. “I was in a very dark place.”

Tekno revealed that even after recovering physically, he struggled emotionally and temporarily lost his passion for music.

“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,” he added.

The Afrobeats star said he eventually found emotional healing through reading inspirational books, a process that helped him reconnect with music and rebuild his career.
