- Kcee, a Nigerian singer, shares his story of meeting his wife, Ijeoma Okonkwo.
- The ‘Limpopo’ crooner met his wife while distributing Emeka Okonkwo’s wedding cards, also known as E-Money, his younger brother and business partner.
- In an interview with VJ Adams, Kcee described his love encounter with his wife as a “love at first sight.”
Nigerian artist Kingsley Okonkwo, widely recognized as Kcee, has shared the story of how he first met his wife, Ijeoma Okonkwo.
In a recent interview with VJ Adams, the ‘Limpopo’ hitmaker revealed that he encountered his future wife while he was handing out wedding invitations for his younger brother and business associate, Emeka Okonkwo, also known as E-Money.
Kcee characterized this meeting as a moment of love at first sight.
“I met my wife [Ijeoma] when I went to give Charly Boy E-Money’s wedding invitation. Immediately, I saw her I said, ‘I want to marry this girl.’ I told Presh, ‘That’s my wife’,” he recalled.
“Presh was laughing. And I walked up to her and said, ‘I came to drop my brother’s wedding invite but I would like to invite you especially. And I want to marry you. She was laughing. She didn’t give me attention because she didn’t know it was Kcee that moment. I asked for her number she refused but later gave me after her colleague told her it was Kcee.
“We started talking and I told her, ‘I want to marry you. I don’t want to date you. If I date you we won’t get married.’ Sometimes, we make a lot of mistakes. Some people date their husband or their wife and start looking for fault and you dumb your husband or your wife looking for something else that you don’t know. So look for what makes happy instead.”
Kcee tied the knot with his wife Ijeoma back in 2010, and they’re now proud parents of two kids.
