In an exclusive interview, controversial singer, Charly Boy has said nothing was going to stop him from looking and acting like a young boy, no matter his age.
Veteran entertainer and Naija's Area Father, Charles Oputa a.k.a Charly Boy, clocked 64 few days ago and anybody who expects the funky grandfather to change his lifestyle might be in for a long wait.
In an exclusive interview with Punch's Saturday Beats, the controversial singer, said nothing was going to stop him from looking and acting like a young boy, no matter his age.
“There will always be that boy that lives in me. I don’t want to be like you people who want to grow old, be adults, and go through all the shenanigans of adulthood. I just want to be peaceful and playful, so I can’t kill that boy. That boy will always live in me, and that is what has given me that spiritual calm and that is why I relate better with younger people than older people, and I love children more than older people, who are full of intrigues. So, I’m not interested in all that.
Wetin I dey take old people dey do? They are old and they are in a hurry to get into their graves, I’m not. You even hear people saying how old they are, as if they are rushing to go somewhere. Life is for living, for me,” he said.
Now that he has reached a new age, Charly Boy says retirement is not even for him...he said;
“Wetin dey worry una sef? So anybody above 60 should go around with a walking stick and retire to the farmland. What’s that? Do I look like someone who is tired? Precisely, life is just starting for me. I’m planning to come back and very soon you’d see me everywhere. I’ve been on sabbatical for some time, for my spiritual rebirth, so I’m out now and I’m younger and fresher. Me and una wey young go drag am o,” he said.
