Renowned Nigerian singer and songwriter, Yemi Eberechi Alade, has candidly shared her frustrations regarding societal expectations pushing her to marry. The ‘Na Gode’ artist revealed that she consistently faces pressure from both family and friends to settle down and start a family.
Addressing persistent inquiries about her marital status, Alade, who has been rumored to be married to her manager, subtly clarified by stating, “People often get married, especially towards the end of every year. I’m not feeling pressured. When the time is right, it will happen.”
In a recent interview with Cool FM, Yemi Alade expressed, “Family pressure is a challenging thing to resist because it’s coming from the people I respect and look up to, insisting that I should get married. However, I believe that if they genuinely have my best interests at heart, they will be patient with me because finding the right partner is more crucial than just getting married.”
She emphasized the importance of not rushing into the decision of choosing a life partner, stating, “But beyond that, I don’t think anyone should rush into making the wrong decision of being with the wrong partner.”
The talented artist’s sentiments shed light on the complexities of societal expectations and the balance between personal choices and external pressures.
