Famous rapper and activist Ruggedman has shared his opinions on domestic violence in relationships.
The music star mentioned that any situation that could escalate into domestic violence should be a valid reason to end the relationship.
The singer disclosed this during a recent interview with TVC, which was posted on YouTube on Sunday.
He said, “I always tell any woman I intend to date that if she pushes me to the level where I think of hitting her, then it’s over.
“I say that because, for me to want to date someone, it means I’ve told her everything that triggers me. So, for you to now push that thing, it means you’re poking me. I would rather walk away than hit the person.
“I once broke up with a lady because she pushed me in public when we were having a disagreement, despite my pleading with her to wait until we got home to settle the issue.
“A lot of people in abusive relationships saw the red flags but remained in the relationship because of what they were benefiting. Also, some of them are afraid of leaving because of public opinion. It’s better to leave because if you die in an abusive relationship, people will still talk.”
