Nigerian rapper and activist Michael Stephens, aka Ruggedman, has spoken about not being a father or married at 51.
The rapper revealed that he vowed not to have a child out of wedlock when he was much younger.
Ruggedman disclosed this while featuring on the TVC programme Your View recently.

“I am not married and do not have a child yet. When I was much younger, I vowed never to have a child out of wedlock. Sometimes, I wonder whether I made the right or wrong decision. But still, it takes a lot from both parties. You have to do it with someone you really love,” he said.

“I have met some ladies I thought I would end up with, but it didn’t work out. There was a particular lady I was supposed to marry, but a wealthy man came into the picture, and her mother separated us.”
In a 2021 interview, Ruggedman revealed that his mother and other family members were not pressuring him about marriage despite being over 40 years of age.
He added that he would get married when he was ready.
