The Yes/No singer and actor said this on a radio show with his wife, Adesua Etomi-Wellington, in the series, the Black Box Interview, hosted by Nigerian media personality Ebuka Obi-Uchendu.
In response to a question on how he met his wife, the 41-year-old father of one revealed that he couldn't pay attention to her after they had met several times since he wasn't ready to settle down.
Couples struggled to stay together, according to the artist, since they hurried into marriage before they were ready.
In his words:
“I honestly think that God blinded my eyes until I was in a place where I would be working to be the type of man that would treat his daughter properly. Until I got to that place, God didn’t let me see her.
So I saw her, you know, and I was like, ‘nice girl, fine girl, okay nice to meet you,’ and I kept moving. I was in a different place in my life. And men know, men always know when we are ready. And until you’re ready, you’re not ready.
And if you’re not ready, it doesn’t matter how great somebody is, if you as a man, you’re not ready to settle down and be dedicated or whatever, you’re just gonna mess it up or end up in this miserable situation.
And that’s why I think today that marriage has turned into this thing we endure rather than enjoy.”
Banky W and Adesua got married on the 19th November, 2017, and early 2021, they announced the birth of their baby boy.
