Nigerian rapper, Lil Kesh, has opened up about his stance on relationships and marriage, revealing that he is not currently in a romantic relationship and has no plans to marry anytime soon.

Lil Kesh appeared as a special guest on the Esther podcast where he revealed his aversion to marriage, which stunned some viewers.

The 31-year-old artist stated that committing to a relationship would require himself being ready to compromise for the person; a step he’s not ready for yet.

It would be nice to find someone who would make me compromise. But now, I’m not intentional about dating because if I’m dating you, I will have to make time for you. Also, I’m no longer a kid. I’m 31. Luckily, my parents are not pressuring me to get married. They have made peace what the fact that I am different.

On the topic of marriage, Lil Kesh stressed that marriage is not on his mind because he doesn’t believe in it, citing the skyrocketing divorce rates as discouragement. 

Marriage? Maybe, later. But for now, I’m not of that mindset. I’m also not going to intentionally make anyone my baby mama. I am not going to ‘wife’ anybody anytime soon either.

 It’s not like I don’t want to get married because I want to be free or be a playboy, I just don’t believe in marriage. They don’t work. Have you seen the rate of divorces? I have seen a lot of unhappy marriages.

That doesn’t mean there are not happy ones. But personally, I want a happy home and I don’t feel like I can do that yet. And I’m not going to jeopardise any person’s happiness just because I have to get married.

Nigerian rapper Falz has sparked a flurry of reactions online after airing his stance on premarital sex, stressing that fornication is ‘not a sin’, contrary to what is written in the Holy Bible.

While some defended Falz’s right to express his opinion, many others, especially from the religious community, were quick to rebuke the claim, citing biblical references. His post also stirred intense debate on across social media platforms from X to Instagram.

In her absence, Femi Adebayo, producer and director of “Seven Doors,” received the award on her behalf.

The movie Seven Doors won two more awards at the event, with Adebayo winning Best Lead Actor and Tolu Obanro winning Best Score/Music.

The movie, jointly directed by Adebayo, Adebayo Tijani, and Tope Adebayo, tells the story of King Adedunjoye, a reluctant king whose reign is haunted by a generational curse.

To break the curse, the King must open ‘seven doors,’ which means marrying six more wives. His deep love for his wife, Amaka, makes this a herculean task.
