His tweet comes off the back of an engaging interview on The Breakfast Club, where he spoke about his new music, African history, polyamory and more. He stated categorically that he is down for a variety of different types of unions as far as the relationship has the right foundation.
Jidenna is known for his confidence and spectacular swag blended with an Afrocentric fashion style.
His tweet was met with applause from many women while others attempted to throw their names in the ring for potential “wifey.”
Jidenna has in the past made headlines for mostly the right reasons. He acknowledges the influence of Fela Anikulapo Kuti and Bob Marley on his music. According to him, his foundation was built around hip hop but deviated when he grew up listening to classy music.
“My foundation was built around hip-hop but I got influenced by other sounds. When I was growing up in Nigeria, Bob Marley was like the biggest god so me and Fela were my biggest heroes when I was a kid,” he said.

Make sure you marry someone who appreciates you and not the money you have. You will see a lot of fake ones coming saying they love you. Many want to be your wifey now because of your success. So be smart. Be prayerful and follow your heart ????#ZenMagazine
