39-year-old Nigerian rapper Ice Prince has revealed why he is not in a hurry to get married, saying the realities of modern relationships and marriage now make him fearful.
Speaking during a podcast interview with media personality Rufai Oseni, the rapper explained that he constantly sees marriages breaking down shortly after weddings, which has affected how he views marriage.
According to him, he also notices the pressure many people face trying to fund elaborate wedding ceremonies, revealing that friends often approach him for financial assistance just to get married. He said he does not want to put himself under such pressure.
Ice Prince added that he may consider marriage later in life, possibly around the age of 40, noting that some people he admires, including rapper M.I Abaga, got married at that stage in life.
The rapper further shared some of his long-term personal goals, stating that he hopes to return to school someday and eventually run a farm.
He also said he does not see himself actively releasing music albums at 40, suggesting he plans to transition into a different phase of life in the future.
His words …
“These days I get scared of this marriage thing more and more everyday because I see people get married and in less than a year they want out. I see the drama people go through to get married, the stress about borrowing money. My friends are constantly reaching out to me to borrow money to get married and I don’t want to be that person… I’m hoping that maybe when I am 40. Some of my mentors got married that age – somebody like M.I Abaga got married at that age. Maybe when I’m that age I’ll probably be thinking about that. For now I don’t intend to.
Also I have other goals when I’m 40. I intend to go to school. I really want to go to school so bad and I’d like to run a farm when I’m that age. I don’t intend to be dropping albums when I’m 40….”
