Nigerian Celebrities And Baby
Mama Syndrome
Patience Ivie Ihejirika
— August 2, 2015
Having children outside wedlock has become a
common practice among Nigerian celebrities as
more of them aspire to join the club of
fatherhood with no intention of getting married.
PATIENCE IVIE IHEJIRIKA takes a look at some of
them.
Oritsefemi
Oritsefemi Majemite Ekele, the afrobeats singer
who’s story changed after his re-make of one of
Fela Anikulakpo Kuti’s popular songs Double
Wahala is a proud celebrity dad with two
daughters from two different baby mamas.
He was recently quoted as saying he has no
plans of marrying either of his baby mamas.
Seun Kuti
The last son of the legendary afrobeat pioneer,
Fela Anikulakpo Kuti, recently declared publicly
that he does not believe and he has no intention
of getting married soon because he can’t imagine
losing half his earnings. However, the dude likes
being a father.
Seun and his partner, Yetunde George Ademiluyi,
have a lovely daughter. In an interview, the star
talked about the exhilarating experience of
fatherhood. “Training your first child is a life
experience. It is a lesson in selfless service. You
know, babies are strong but they are also quite
dependent. You know you have to sacrifice your
time, and now I am the one who sacrifices my
time all night. My partner works all day, I work all
night. I am in the studio anyway, so I can stay
awake all night. Well, it is interesting and my
baby is quite peaceful,’’ he stated.
Wizkid
Despite the fact that he happens to be one of the
youngest and busiest fathers in the Nigerian
music scene, Wizkid whose real name is Ayodeji
Ibrahim Balogun, still has time to spare for his
kid.
The artiste is said to be fond of his son,
Boluwatife and his baby mama, Shola Ogudugu.
However, there is no sign that the rich lad would
be getting married anytime soon though he is
enjoying his role of a father and often posts
pictures of his son on his instagram page.
2Face
Now often referred to as the ‘father of all nation’,
2face was linked to three baby mamas before he
eventually tied the knot with Annie, his longtime
girlfriend.
2face has three children with Pero Adeniyi
namely; Rose, Justin and Oluwakitan, two with
Sumbo Ajaba namely; Nino and Zion and two
with Annie Macaulay, namely Isabela and Olivia
One of his baby mamas, Sumbo, who had two
lovely kids for him, recently got married to a
Pastor in Lagos. When 2face was asked by an
online magazine how he felt about it, his reply
was “Sumbo deserves all the best; I wish her
many good things in her marriage. She’s a nice
person.”
Obafemi Martins
The Nigerian soccer star, popularly called
Obagoal has also made the list of celebrity dads,
having three children from three different women.

said to have conducted a silent traditional
wedding with Mimi in 2011
Timaya

in no hurry to tie the knot but his baby mama,

committed father has often talked about his
daughter in his songs, most especially on the
song entitled This Jagged Life. The duo aren’t
dating anymore but those close to them say they
remain close friends and are jointly raising their
daughter.
Ice Prince
Babatunde Bimbo became known in 2012 after
she confessed to carrying the child of Nigerian
rap star, Ice Prince Zamani, a confession that was
trailed by denials and rejection. Bimbo, an
undergraduate at that time, had to drop out of
school to keep the pregnancy.
The baby was christened Toluwalase. Ice Prince,
who initially distanced himself from mum and
child, later admitted in an interview to being the
father.
In a sudden twist of event, Ice Prince embraced
his child and re-named him Jamal Zamani. In an
interview, Ice Prince explained that he had denied
his son because things were complicated at the
time.
“It was complicated back then, I didn’t really
know what was happening and I wasn’t sure of
certain things. So, the best I had to do then was
deny it and sort out things first. Now I know he is
my child and I have done everything as a father
ever since,” he was quoted to have said in the
interview.

Meaning they phuck around without condoms.
No thanks to tu-face their mentor.

Why do we seem to single out artistes? Do you know the number of baby mamas of ordinary Nigerian men out there. It's the society. Artistes are part of the society.

Unfortunately many youths see thses artists as role models.











Shame
