Veteran Nigerian rapper Michael Stephens, popularly known as Ruggedman, has revealed why he is yet unmarried and does not have children.
Speaking on a recent episode of TVC’s Your View Pidgin, the 51-year-old artist stated that he made a personal vow in his younger years never to have a child out of wedlock.
“I am not currently in any relationship, nor am I married, and I do not have a child yet. When I was much younger, I vowed never to have a child out of wedlock,” he said.
Ruggedman admitted that, at times, he questions whether his decision was right or wrong but maintained that parenthood requires commitment from both parties and should only be undertaken with someone he truly loves.
The Baraje crooner also further reflected on his early years in the entertainment industry, suggesting that his career may have influenced his personal life choices.
“I blame entertainment a little because when we came into the industry, we didn’t know much—our focus was just on entertainment,” he said.
“Even a friend of mine made a statement saying in pidgin, ‘Make person never go use him, wife, to do girlfriend’, because at the time my focus was on entertainment, and I have met people I don’t even know if they were ready, and I have met people that like me, but not the fact that I’m into entertainment. “
