Wale has always presented interesting perspectives when it comes to relationships. “The Break Up Song,” “Diary,” and “Bad” are Wale-produced singles that reaches deeper than the average hip-hop song about love.
During a recent interview and photo shoot with rolling out, Wale revealed what he thinks make women sexy and why he’s skeptical about falling in love.
How do you approach love now that you have experienced life and close to 30?
I’ve learned too much. I say that because, I’m 28 and I’ve been all over the world. I’ve seen all types of women. Celebrity girls I’ve dated and regular 9 to 5 girls. I’ve had shows where married women have tried to follow me to my hotel. My perception of women isn’t very ignorant because I’ve seen a lot. Where there is a dude somewhere who is dating his high school girlfriend, probably in his late 30’s, and that’s all he knows. He doesn’t even know what she’s capable of and vice versa. I’ve seen it already. Nothing is really going to surprise me.
Because you have witnessed so much when it comes to love, are you ready to embrace marriage or are you more skeptical?
I’m a little more cautious. But I mean, some will say it made me bitter or a little more reluctant to embrace love. And they might be right. That’s just my past. I really know what women are capable of doing. I’m sure a lot of them know what I am capable of as well. But overall, I’ve just seen a whole lot.
What are the things that makes a woman sexy?
Not to sound corny, but intelligence is big. Everything fades and everything can be modified. But intelligence is something you can’t fake. I’m not even talking about whether you can read a thesaurus backwards. But there is a beauty in common sense. Not to sound bad, but some girls are dumb. It’s because they spend so much of their life trying to have the right look. On the other hand, some girls are just really smart. There are girls you can have conversations with that are healthy conversations. You can argue real life issues and solve problems together. That is what makes a woman sexy.
