Daddy Owen hints that hypergamy played a role in his broken marriage
Renowned musician Daddy Owen recently opened up about the significant role hypergamy played in the challenges he faced during his previous marriage. In a candid interview with Iko Nini, Owen delved into the impact of hypergamy on his relationship and shared valuable insights gained from that experience.
“A lady comes home from work and the guy has spent the whole day inside the house yet he wants to discuss issues with his CEO girlfriend. What will you discuss? Your intelligence level is not the same,” Daddy Owen said.
Hypergamy, the practice of marrying or forming relationships with individuals of superior social or educational backgrounds, emerged as a central theme in Owen’s narrative.
“For you to be submissive, you must be lower. So hypergamy happens because most of the time, women feel the moment you marry her you must be 10 steps ahead. The moment they catch up with you, the fascination dies. and this is my analogy,” Owen explained.
He candidly acknowledged that the allure of hypergamy affected the dynamics of his marriage, leading to difficulties and ultimately contributing to its demise.
