Ice Prince, a 39-year-old Nigerian musician, has stated why he is not in a hurry to marry, citing the realities of modern relationships and marriage that make him scared.
During a podcast interview with media personality Rufai Oseni, the rapper revealed that he constantly sees marriages fail quickly after their nuptials, which has influenced how he views marriage.
According to him, he also notices the pressure many people face when trying to fund elaborate wedding ceremonies, revealing that friends frequently approach him for financial assistance simply to get married. He stated that he did not want to put himself under such pressure.
Ice Prince has stated that he may consider marriage later in life, possibly around the age of 40, citing the fact that some of his idols, like as rapper M.I Abaga, married at that age.
The rapper also revealed some of his long-term personal aspirations, noting that he hopes to return to school and eventually own a farm.
He also stated that he does not envision himself actively releasing music albums at the age of 40, implying that he intends to move on to a new phase of life in the future.
Read his words below;
“These days I get scared of this marriage thing more and more everyday because I see people get married and in less than a year they want out. I see the drama people go through to get married, the stress about borrowing money. My friends are constantly reaching out to me to borrow money to get married and I don’t want to be that person… I’m hoping that maybe when I am 40. Some of my mentors got married that age – somebody like M.I Abaga got married at that age. Maybe when I’m that age I’ll probably be thinking about that. For now I don’t intend to.
Also I have other goals when I’m 40. I intend to go to school. I really want to go to school so bad and I’d like to run a farm when I’m that age. I don’t intend to be dropping albums when I’m 40….”
