Nigerian singer Joeboy has stirred social media buzz after sharing a private chat with his mother, where she passionately urged him to get married soon. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

“Your Mates Are Doing Wedding Everywhere” — Joeboy’s Mom

In the conversation, Joeboy’s mom expressed concern that while her son has achieved massive success in music, marriage is the next milestone she expects from him.

She compared him to fellow Nigerian artists who have already tied the knot or settled into committed relationships.

“All this your music, blowing up everywhere, enjoyment… You have blown, no doubt about that. But when will you blow into marriage, eh Oko mi? Your mates are doing wedding everywhere. See that Adekunle Gold, he is married. See Davido too. Even that one Shoday boy, he is in a serious relationship. What are you doing? Wo, I’ve told all my friends that my son will get married soon,” she told him.

Mom vs. Career: The Pressure to Marry

Joeboy’s mother made it clear that she has already been telling her friends her son will soon walk down the aisle — adding even more pressure on the singer.

Her comments sparked laughter and debate online, as many fans related to the typical Nigerian parent pressure about marriage once a child has “made it” in their career.

Fans React Online

The singer’s post drew hilarious reactions, with many fans teasing him about his mom’s persistence:

“African mothers don’t play when it comes to marriage pressure.”

“Imagine Joeboy’s mom comparing him with Davido and Adekunle Gold.”

“This is every Nigerian mom’s script.”

Some others advised Joeboy to take his time and not succumb to pressure, while others jokingly volunteered to be his future bride.

Parents and marriage sha, what does Joeboy need marriage for exactly, he is balling, he is free.

Tying himself to boring responsibility is not really the best.

The same Joeboy of 26 years? A 26 years old guy got a long way to go. He’s a man, not a woman..

BRATISLAVA:

But men are getting married at 19. Why must he be 35? Hence the rise in children with autism. They're born when their father is closer to 50 or 60.

26 years man na small boy and has a long way to go?

I'm sure you are just kidding.

Many men already have financial stability and 1-2 kids at that age back in the days.

The woman no get daughter?

Asking a man to marry is a complete joke! Men marry whenever they want to, besides a man's prime starts from 30 and above while that of a woman is 18-23 , that's a huge difference! The mother should allow joeboy to enjoy his prime
