Over a year after the Koko Master, D’banj, was rumoured
to have
secretly married, Lineo Didi Kilgrow,
he has finally owned up.
A guest on a programme on BEAT FM
on Tuesday in Lagos, Dbanj said he kept his
marriage secret because he did not
want the complications and attention of a celebrity
relationship.
“I decided to keep my marriage to
Didi a secret because based on experience, relationships like this get mixed
with media hypes and speculations and then it becomes complicated,” he said.
“You know the pressure to get
married was this high and mum told me she wanted to see
the girl I was dating
and would want to marry. I told her that there was this babe and we
didn’t want
to marry yet but she insisted that she was the one for me that we should have
a
small ceremony and the rest is history. I’m glad I listened to her.”
The singer also appreciated his
close circle of friends whom he said kept the news of his
marriage from the
public.
All the while, Bangalee, as he is
popularly called had neither confirmed nor denied being
married. However his
marital status was subtly confirmed following the birth of his son,
Daniel III,
this year.
The wedding between the music star
and his beau took place at the family home of
D’banj in Maryland, Lagos on
Saturday, June 2, 2016.
The wedding (registry and
traditional) was so private that only nuclear family members
of both D’banj and
Didi were in attendance.The couple had a quiet traditional wedding
in Jos, Plateau
State.
He maintained sealed lips until
May 2017 when he announced the birth of their son in
the United States. Didi, 25, grew up in Jos and
attended the University of Abuja.
She is the step-sister of Samantha
Walsh who presently hosts the big Friday show with
Falz on MTV base.
