Nigerian artist Emoseh Khamofu, better known as Bloody Civilian, has opened up about how her career has reshaped her perspectives on traditional values she grew up with. In a candid chat on the Not Just On podcast, the 26-year-old shared that marriage is not on her agenda, despite family pressure.
The Taraba-born singer admitted that her family still struggles to grasp that the conventional expectations for a woman from the North—like marriage—simply don’t appeal to her. “One thing my family still does not understand about being an artiste is the fact that certain conventional things that they expect of a woman from the North are just simply not things that I am excited to do,” she said.
She elaborated that the constant inquiries about wedding plans are unwelcome. “For instance, marriage is not something that I am thinking of at all. But that question keeps being brought up,” she added. The singer’s remarks highlight a growing disconnect between her personal choices and her family’s traditional views.
