Speaking in an interview with Saturday Beats, the singer said, “The biggest misconception that a lot of people have about love and relationships is that they think that everything begins and ends with sex.

“Love is just love. Love is when you care about someone, when you have empathy for someone, when you can put yourself in someone else’s position.”
According to him, empathy remains the foundation of genuine affection and connection. “Without empathy, there cannot be love. The ability to empathize with someone else, that is what love is. Therefore, this generation must learn to empathize with others. Once you’re able to do that, love will just come naturally to you,” he added.
