A year after secretly tying the knot with wife, Lineo Didi Kilgrow and even welcoming a son, D’Banj, has finally opened up on why he chose to go silent about his wedding.
The Kokomaster, who was a guest on Beat FM said he kept his marriage a secret because he did not want the complications and attention of a celebrity relationship.
His exact words: “I decided to keep my marriage to Didi, a secret because based on experience, relationships like this get mixed with media hypes and speculations and then it becomes complicated”.
“You know the pressure to get married was this high and Mum told me she wants to see the girl I am dating and would want to marry. I told her that there was this girl and we didn’t want to marry yet, but she insisted that she was the one for me that we should have a small ceremony and the rest is history. I’m glad I listened to her”.
