Nigerian rapper and activist Michael Stephens, popularly known as Ruggedman, has revealed why he is not a husband or father yet.
The 51-year-old appeared on TVC's Your View where he gave an insight into his personal life. He revealed that he vowed not to have a child out of wedlock when he was much younger, and has kept his word since then.
When the hosts asked if he had a significant other or a child, he said he didn't. They asked why and he explained.
He said: "The crazy thing is, when I dey much younger, I vowed not to have a child out of wedlock.
"So, I still dey look am whether na right decision I make last last, but, still I just decide because e dey take a lot from both parties."
He added that to enter into marriage and fatherhood, one has to do it with someone they genuinely want to be with.
Asked if he hasn't seen anyone good enough for him over the years, he replied: "I don see some but at the end of the day, e no pan out."
He added that there was a lady he would have married but a wealthy man entered the picture and was giving the woman's mother contracts, so her mother ensured she went with the richer man.
One of the hosts told Ruggedman that he looks like a responsible person so she's shocked he's not married and Ruggedman replied that marriage isn't about being responsible and a lot of irresponsible people are married.
The rapper added that he is not the type to be pressured into marriage.
When asked if he is a difficult person to live with, he said he isn't but he won't knowingly make a decision that isn't good for him.
He added that many say life is hard but it is only hard when people "knowingly" make wrong decisions despite knowing it is not the right thing for them.
However, he agreed with the hosts that he is "principled" and he doesn't "bend".
