Charles Oputa, better known as Charly Boy, has made headlines with an unconventional ultimatum: he promises to divorce his wife of 47 years if Kamala Harris fails to win the upcoming US presidential election. The maverick singer and activist’s bold declaration follows President Joe Biden’s decision to step down as the Democratic candidate, endorsing Harris, the current Vice President, as his successor.
In a post on his X (formerly Twitter) account, Charly Boy expressed his passionate support for Harris, framing her potential victory as a historic milestone for the United States. He emphasized that after Barack Obama’s presidency as the first Black male president, America is poised for its first Black female president.
Charly Boy’s vow, made in Pidgin English, reflects his deep admiration for Harris: “If dis my crush, Kamala Harris no win the USA presidential election, I swear, I go divorce my wife of 47yrs. After the first Black Male President, America deserves the first Black Female President. Sorry rednecks. Dats how we Roll.”
While Kamala Harris is still working towards securing the Democratic nomination, she has already garnered over a quarter of the necessary delegates, according to The Hill. This support underscores the significant backing she has within the party, despite the ongoing race to the nomination.
Charly Boy’s dramatic statement adds a layer of personal stakes to the political contest, highlighting the deep impact of this election on both public figures and private lives. As the campaign progresses, all eyes will be on Harris’s bid and how this high-profile endorsement unfolds.
