Former gospel artist turned secular musician Willy Paul has once again stirred online debate after boldly declaring that he will never get married.
The controversial singer, known for his hit songs and countless public scandals involving women, made the revelation during a candid conversation on social media.
Willy Paul, who has in the past been linked to several women — some accusing him of sliding into their inboxes — said that marriage is not part of his plans, insisting that he is content living a single and carefree life.
“Marriage is a scam. I’ve decided I’ll never get married. I just want to enjoy life as a single man,” he said.
According to the “Sitolia” hitmaker, his decision stems from what he described as the unfaithfulness of modern relationships, claiming that today’s women cheat a lot and that marriage no longer carries the same value it once did.
“Nowadays, people have normalized cheating. You can be married and your neighbour will still be sleeping with your wife. I don’t want to go through that,” he added.
Willy Paul emphasized that his main reason for staying single is to protect his peace of mind, saying that being alone gives him freedom, focus, and happiness.
“I prefer being alone and having peace. Marriage will never work for me,” he said firmly.
His remarks have since sparked mixed reactions among Kenyans online. While some fans supported his stance, arguing that relationships in the modern world have become too complicated, others criticized him for generalizing and dismissing marriage based on personal experiences.
“Marriage works if you find the right person, not everyone is unfaithful,” one fan commented.
“Willy Paul is just speaking his truth. The current dating scene is a mess,” another user defended him.
Willy Paul, whose real name is Wilson Abubakar Radido, has long been one of Kenya’s most controversial artists — transitioning from a gospel musician to a secular performer and frequently making headlines for his outspoken views and flamboyant lifestyle.
Despite his controversies, he remains one of Kenya’s most streamed artists and continues to dominate conversations in the entertainment industry.
