Renowned singer Yemi Alade recently shared insights on marriage, addressing the societal pressure surrounding it. During an interview with Cool FM, she subtly refuted rumors of marrying her manager, clarifying her single status.

Yemi discussed the prevailing cultural trend of year-end marriages but expressed her lack of pressure to conform, believing in the significance of timing.

While acknowledging the difficulty in resisting familial pressure, she emphasized the importance of finding the right partner over succumbing to societal expectations. She highlighted the challenge of familial influence but stressed the need for genuine patience and support from those she admires.

In all, she doesn’t believe anyone should rush into making the wrong decision of being with the wrong partner.

“People often get married, especially towards the end of every year. I’m not feeling pressured. When the time is right, it will happen.”⁣

“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.⁣

“But beyond that, I don’t think anyone should rush into making the wrong decision of being with the wrong partner”.
