Mayorkun explains why friendship breakups hurt most

Nigerian singer Adewale Mayowa Emmanuel, popularly known as Mayorkun, has shared his thoughts on friendships, claiming that friendship breakups sometimes hurt more than relationship breakups.

The singer, while speaking on the In My Opinion podcast, said people invest more into friendships because genuine friendship requires actually liking and connecting with someone.

Mayorkun added that although romantic relationships have a sexual element, friendship is largely about companionship and genuinely enjoying the person’s presence.

“Friendship breakup are harder than relationships breakup because you invest more into friendship. You are not really getting anything from friendship. Apart from like maybe companion and all. But in a relationship there is still small sexual something inside. In friendship you have to actually like that person before that person becomes your friend. So if the thing ends don’t worry you will get a new girlfriend before you get a new friend. Friendship breakup makes it hard to now want to go into another friendship relationship with someone except you are the type that calls everyone your friend,” he said.
