The 30-year-old singer, who just signed a new record deal with Mavin records, stated this in an interview with The Net.
When asked why he has no baby mama, or married, like his colleagues in the industry, he said: “‘I’ll be honest, it’s not very easy, If I had my way, I would have been married a long time ago and by now people will be seeing my kids.
“It’s not very easy trying to get this music right and then adding marriage to it.
“The truth is even though people think I have that bad boy reputation, I respect marriage a lot, I don’t believe I should get married and get out of it, so I’m not trying to rush into something I’ll rush out of.”
Iyanya said that it is not easy to just date any girl now because their real intention would be in doubt.
“It’s hard to get a girl. If you say you want a girl from the church, you’ll carry devil, if you say you want a dancer, you’ll carry trouble.
“I’m just trying to be patient and take my time and it’s even harder now that I’m famous because it’s really hard to find someone that truly cares for you when you are famous.
“I think this is one of the things I regret, I should have married someone way back when my mum was still alive. Back then my mum was always on my neck to settle down and at the time I always wondered why but now I see it. I’m not giving up though, I just want to make sure I get this music right.
“I’m 30 and I’ve not seen in the bible or any church that’ll say I can’t come to church because I’m 30 and not married,” he quipped.

Divine stop lying. You've always kept up with your bad boy reputation right from unical days. What? No be you dey date friends? The same way you did tontoh and Yvonne Nelson na the same way you dey do babes back then. Knocking heads together and locking your lips on side watching them drag hair. If you or any of your voltrons come under anonymous to cuss me out I will release names and details.
ReplyDeletePlease don't wait for them to cuss you out just spill the names and details
DeleteChickito I dey ur back. Divine is 36yrs d stupid fame they promised him in 2007 dat made him wash altar with his late mum's blood, where's the FAME? going back to do boy boy in Mavin s record. Your family is gone, mum, dad, brother under mysterious circumstances. Fool
DeleteShantelle hurry n marry him, the next altar washing Na ur bucket of blood. Asewo oshi. And BTW he has a teenage daughter by his baby mama, dark plenty eye brows pretty girl he has.
At 21 nine years ago ur mama pressurized u to marry. Like say u don pass jamb dat time. Goat. Calabar pipu full here o.
😂😂😂😂 @anon12:28 U no go kill me....ooh. E be like say u dey cry 4 help.. Abeg no suffocate.. Oh😂
DeleteWaoh you don't say...his mum,dad and brother gone?anon 12:28 you've got to be kidding!!!
DeleteAnon 12:28 you are a bastard for bringing me into your nonsensical comment. Carry person matter dey hawk,you will soon jump into the ocean and drown of antipathy. Banza!
DeleteYou know all these because? You stood for him as witness on the said day,as you both use same dibia? You forgot they'v already used your own bucket of blood to wash the altar of malevolence and stupidity(simply put your blood no get value) hence your trashy cheap comment.
You are not a boy boy nain fear no gree you use your real name ? Just negodu this hungry maggot waiting on crumbs.
Imagine calling me 'ashawo oshi'? You are gutter. Do yoi know me outside of this blog? You lack love,learn to keep my name away from youe foolishness cos i no dey see you. You are inconsequential.
And oh! Your gist about his daughter isnt news. What kind of a useless busy body is this one? They claim to know eveything about everyone else but know nothing about themselves.
DeleteTufia! Anon 12:28;you are a disgusting sluggish slimy pig!
Keep my name away from your hatred,you are not welcome.
Esther Mgbeke aren't you part of the cussers association of this blog? Always behind ideato, doing the fanning. You wan hear gist so you have become a 'friendship' today 😂😂 Abeg swerve!! 🖐🏽 Then you would come under anonymous and say I have a big mouth. As a Trap setter that you IS nau👏🏽
DeleteDivine stop lying. You've always kept up with your bad boy reputation right from unical days. What? No be you dey date friends? The same way you did tontoh and Yvonne Nelson na the same way you dey do babes back then. Knocking heads together and locking your lips on side watching them drag hair.

DeleteLol. Nawa
DeleteSenator,now I know why you don't have a daily job!...
DeleteWhich sane employer would employ someone with cut and join written English?...
See a graduate writting like an imbecile...
Which glorified secondary school university did you even attend?...
Tueh!...
Idiot Linda yu think is by English Ode I don't need to Stress before I make money well I don't need to make mouth any way just know yu are very useless Ashawo kobo kobo if it's by English so many people won't have make it in Niger okay useless goat like you Omo Igbo Jati Jati
DeleteEven to use full stop or comma. Nah waaa ooooo.
DeleteIrene B!😂😂😂😂 is that what he told you? I won't spill names because most of the girls he was with in Uni are now married and if I call their names well.... I don't know who reads this blog. Maybe their husbands or inlaws??? Virgin who? Divine?!! This one that was living off rich/runs babes in Uni and had a good reputation for being good in bed? Alex ekubo was the fine boy who couldn't 'straff' -as they used to say. Don't know if he's upgraded skills now. Divine had a machine gun from what I used to hear. And I even went to separate fight that time in his house as one of my friends had an altercation with another babe thinking she was the main chic using her dad's hard earned money to feed and spend on him - after we warned the Mumu she no hear!! abeg let him be rolling wasit for una. No be today Him start to roll waist. Since channelview karaoke he has been rolling waist. Roll to Mavin oh!
DeleteHe's talented no doubt. But sorry, he likes women. He womanizes. And that's a fact!! And he likes posh girls, popular girls or rich girls. Cos he wants the ones he won't spend on.
As for youSenator are you one of those Calabar boys that do follow follow for him when he comes to carnival? Eyahh! You attach yourselves to get complimentary drinks so you have to defend him as payment? You are my brothers, but una too lazy!! Stay here and be fanning divine "Yo' D" as you call him. Don't go and make your own money. And no one knew me in Unical cos I operate at my Lagos/Abuja level cos Ive only always been attracted to hard working people. After growing up in Lagos I could never roll with boys that send their gfs out for runs Or wait for election to do rally and make small change. Eeww....
Senator That is not to say that there aren't hardworking Calabar boys. But I can name the ones who were and they never used to mingle so they don't get infected with that your laziness 😝
And shantelle I guess you don't want to dare chikito. Lol
