During her latest interview with Cool FM, Alade lamented that she is constantly bombarded with questions about her marital status and her plans for starting a family.
Alade, who is known for her vibrant personality and chart-topping hits, shared that the pressure to get married is particularly intense from her family members. She explained that they often express their desire to see her settle down and have children, as they believe it is the natural progression of life.
“People often get married, especially towards the end of every year. I’m not feeling pressured. When the time is right, it will happen.
Family pressure is a challenging thing to resist because it’s coming from the people I respect and look up to, insisting that I should get married. However, I believe that if they genuinely have my best interests at heart, they will be patient with me because finding the right partner is more crucial than just getting married.
“But beyond that, I don’t think anyone should rush into making the wrong decision of being with the wrong partner.”
Alade’s candid comments resonated with many listeners who resonated with the challenges of navigating societal pressures related to marriage and family planning.
