According to Made, marriage should be based on mutual understanding and equal commitment rather than one partner appearing to “beg” the other for acceptance.
During the interview, the 30-year-old Grammy-nominated singer explained that he deliberately chose not to go down on one knee when asking Inedoye to marry him.
According to him, the decision to get married was one they both agreed on together.
“I did not go down on my knees when proposing to my wife because I told her it was a mutual decision. We are not begging each other to be with each other,” he said.
Recall that Made Kuti married Inedoye Onyenso in a private wedding ceremony held in Lagos in November 2023.
The singer had previously revealed that his wife was once his “school daughter,” a comment that also sparked online conversations at the time.
