Nigerian musician Kcee, known for his remarkable career and hit songs, has opened up about the secrets behind his successful marriage and career in a recent interview. Speaking with passion and gratitude, Kcee shared the key principles that have helped him protect both his personal life and his thriving music career, revealing how perseverance, faith, and family involvement have kept his marriage strong.
“Many people I started with have given up,” Kcee said, reflecting on his long journey. “But by the grace of God, I kept pushing through all the challenges, the fire, and the cold. I’ve come out stronger and better than when I started, and I believe I’m in a much better place now.”
The musician’s words reflect the resilience that has defined his career. “I thank God, and I feel excited,” he continued. “I’m not relaxed at all—I’m still pushing forward, making sure that I never let my audience or my fans go without music.”
Overcoming Early Struggles: ‘My Journey Was My Teacher’
Kcee didn’t have it easy in the early days of his music career. Like many budding artists, he faced significant challenges that could have easily crushed his dreams. “Some of the early challenges were related to basic funding and the lack of someone to either guide or support me in achieving my aims and dreams,” Kcee shared.
He admitted that mentorship was scarce during his early years in the music industry. “There was also a lack of serious mentorship when we started. But at the end of the day, we pushed through the hustle and came out stronger.”
He credits his journey as his greatest teacher. “For me, my journey has been my teacher and my lesson. It has also been my success. I’ve learned a lot along the way, corrected myself, and experienced both failures and successes. I think I’ve grown through the process, and by the grace of God, I’ve been able to overcome those challenges.”
Leaving a Legacy: ‘My Music Will Speak for Me Forever’
As Kcee reflects on his career, he acknowledges the powerful legacy his music has already begun to leave. “Well, I believe my music has already done a lot for me, laying down its legacy,” he said. “The messages I convey in my music and the fact that I’ve made the world dance over and over again are significant parts of that legacy.”
Kcee’s humility shines through as he speaks about his lasting impact. “When I eventually leave this earth, I know that those footprints will never be forgotten by the people of this world because that’s an everlasting legacy.”
He also shared what he hopes the world will remember about him beyond his music: “I also believe that the world will remember me for my generosity, being stain-free/drama-free, and being that nice guy who just loves doing what he knows best.” For Kcee, it’s clear that his music, integrity, and generosity are the true markers of his legacy.
A 14-Year Marriage Built on Trust and Partnership
One of the most personal and heartfelt parts of the interview was Kcee’s reflection on his marriage to his wife. The couple has been married for 14 years, and Kcee spoke highly of his wife’s role in their relationship and his success. “I’m blessed, and I thank God for giving me an amazing woman as a wife. She is truly a blessing. She understands me, accepts me as I am, and recognizes my flaws,” he said, clearly appreciative of the support his wife has given him.
Kcee credits his wife for helping shape him into a better man. “She’s helped shape and groom me to stay positive, be a good man, and be a good father,” he added. Their relationship is grounded in respect and mutual understanding, with Kcee acknowledging that they have never had any major fights that required third-party intervention. “We’ve been married for 14 years, and next year will be 15. We’ve never had any major fights where we felt the need to involve our parents or siblings to settle things.”
Although Kcee emphasized that they have had disagreements, he made it clear that they’ve always found ways to resolve them. “Not that we haven’t had disagreements, but we’ve learned how to resolve our differences and keep moving forward.”
Involving His Wife in Business: ‘She Controls Most of the Finances’
Kcee’s approach to his marriage is rooted in deep trust and partnership, especially when it comes to his business affairs. He proudly shared that his wife manages much of his career, including overseeing finances for events like his American tours. “Did you know that most of my events, including my American tours, are managed by her? They pay her directly, and she controls the finances,” Kcee revealed.
He admires her approach to money management. “She’s not extravagant; she’s not someone who spends money unnecessarily.” This level of involvement has strengthened their marriage, as Kcee trusts her judgment and decision-making. “Instead of being afraid, I keep involving her in investments and giving her responsibilities. She understands how I work, how much I make, and how we spend it together.”
Kcee’s openness about their shared responsibilities highlights the importance of collaboration in their marriage. “She controls most of the finances, not because she’s in control but because I want her to be,” he explained.
A ‘Wonderful’ Wife: ‘I Would Never Take Her for Granted’
Kcee concluded by expressing his deep love and gratitude for his wife. “She’s a wonderful woman I would never take for granted. I don’t think I could ever desire another wife other than her. I thank God for blessing me with her.”
