The ‘kukere’ singer, Iyanya Onoyom Mbuk, who just
clocked 30 on Monday, has revealed one of his regrets in
life as not being married before becoming famous.
The 30-year-old singer, who just signed a new record deal
with Mavin records, stated this in an interview with The
Net.
When asked why he has no baby mama, or married, like
his colleagues in the industry, he said: “‘I’ll be honest, it’s
not very easy, If I had my way, I would have been married
a long time ago by now people will be seeing my kids.
“It’s not very easy trying to get this music right and then
adding marriage to it.
“The truth is even though people think I have that bad boy
reputation, I respect marriage a lot, I don’t believe I should
get married and get out of it, so I’m not trying to rush into
something I’ll rush out of.”
Iyanya said that it is not easy to just date any girl now
because their real intention would be in doubt.
“It’s hard to get a girl. If you say you want a girl from the
church, you’ll carry devil, if you say you want a dancer,
you’ll carry trouble.
“I’m just trying to be patient and take my time and it’s even
harder now that I’m famous because it’s really hard to find
someone that truly cares for you when you are famous.
“I think this is one of the things I regret, I should have
married someone way back when my mum was still alive.
Back then my mum was always on my neck to settle down
and at the time I always wondered why but now I see it.
I’m not giving up though, I just want to make sure I get
this music right.
“I’m 30 and I’ve not seen in the bible or any church that’ll
say I can’t come to church because I’m 30 and not
married,” he quipped.
