Nigerian music sensation Reekado Banks has stunned fans by backtracking on previous marriage plans, admitting he’s no longer certain about tying the knot in the near future.
During his appearance on the popular talk show, the award-winning artist confessed that his mindset regarding marriage has undergone a dramatic transformation over just eight weeks—though he chose to keep the catalyst for this change private.
“Two months ago in my last interview, I was absolutely convinced. I confidently stated I’d walk down the aisle before year-end, but today? I’m in completely uncharted territory,” the vocalist revealed with uncharacteristic vulnerability.
“Right now, I can’t give any firm answers about marriage plans. That certainty I felt before? It’s completely gone,” he added, leaving hosts and viewers alike buzzing with speculation.
The Mavin Records alumnus was quick to dismiss any connection between his changed perspective and musical ambitions, emphasizing instead a journey of self-reflection and personal evolution.
“This has zero to do with my career. It’s about my personal development—my emotional maturity that I’m still actively shaping,” Banks clarified.
While currently hesitant, the Afrobeat star maintained that he hasn’t abandoned marriage altogether, acknowledging that his traditional upbringing keeps the institution close to his heart.
Born Ayoleyi Solomon, the artist first captivated audiences under Don Jazzy’s Mavin imprint before forging his own path as an independent powerhouse, continuing to dominate charts across the continent.
