“I never got married because I knew my mom needed me. Women sometimes want to battle for your attention, they want to battle for your love, they want to be the one. Me and my mama share the same birthday. I’m not trying to hear you," he said.
However, the stand-up comedian has two children with his ex-girlfriend, whom he dated between 1992 and 2013.
His two kids are 21 and 19 years old, respectively.
According to the celebrity, he prefers to be unmarried because even when things end, the two of you can part ways without so much drama.
“I like things to bend and not break, and I feel like when you get married, you have to get divorced in order to either be separated or together. I like friendships because you just learn each other and you just grow and you just get better," he added.
