Gospel singer Daddy Owen says he has been receiving nasty videos and photos from older women.

Speaking in an interview with Shaffie Weru, Owen said he blocks such messages immediately.

"I don’t want to lie, women send me a lot of nudes but I always block them," he said.

"After I broke up with my wife the DMs increased. A lot of them came with the strategy of ‘I’m praying for you’, especially on my Instagram."

Owen said he has been single for three years since he is working on himself.

"Right now I know my purpose, as a man of God, if we don’t talk about these things or go through them how will we grow? I have not settled since I am not yet ready."

Daddy Owen wished he had gotten married earlier.

"I wish I got married before fame so that I could grow into fame with my kids but getting married at the peak of my career is a different story," he said.
