Niniola Finally Speaks Out: ‘I’m Not Yet Married,’ Debunks Persistent Secret Wedding Rumours

Afro-house queen, Niniola Apata, has finally put to rest the swirling rumours regarding her marital status, addressing speculations that her recent low profile and brief absence from the spotlight were a result of a secret marriage. The famous singer chose a public platform to offer a definitive clarification, aiming to silence the persistent gossip about her personal life.

The ‘Maradona’ hitmaker’s perceived break from heavy public engagement had led many online to conclude she had quietly tied the knot, fearing that a public marriage could negatively impact her image or her market value for shows and endorsements. Dependable NG reports that the 38-year-old artist used a recent interview with Yanga FM Lagos to offer a definitive clarification, firmly stating that she has not yet walked down the aisle.

Speaking candidly, the dynamic vocalist dismissed the notion that she would conceal such a major life event for professional reasons. She pointed out her maturity, insisting that at her age, she is fully capable of managing her successful music career alongside her personal life without fear of public judgment. “I don’t care whatever anyone does or says regarding my personal life,” she asserted during the chat. “After all, I’m not a 12-year-old. I’m old enough to say whatever it is I want to say with my full chest. I’m not married.” This powerful and direct statement is expected to finally stop all further gossip regarding her private affairs.

Shifting focus to her professional life, Niniola also tackled the long-standing question about a joint music project with her equally talented younger sister, fellow singer Teni. Fans have consistently pressured the siblings, who operate in similar but distinct genres, to release a collaborative track. Niniola explained that while the creative potential is undeniable, any collaboration must be carefully planned and timed to achieve maximum impact.

She was emphatic about her perspective on the music industry and the necessity of strategic decision-making, stating clearly that the art is fundamentally intertwined with commerce. “Music is business, and there is no family in business,” she stressed, suggesting that a collaboration between the two highly sought-after artists will only happen when the creative timing and commercial strategy are perfectly aligned for the benefit of both their respective brands and careers.
