He sang that song after marriage not before. so he learnt lessons inside the marriage. That was what stirred up his thoughts on marriage in that track.

But you first have to deal with the fact that your daughter has been undergoing serious pounding

But I understand he had her at a really young age. Youthful exuberance

I hope Nigeria men won't cry foul if it was the other way round for the opposite gender. Oritse Femi is just 40 and he is already a grandpa. So let's not criticize if it happens to any female in Nigeria.

He is not. He is just 40 years of age. (born 5 January 1985)
