Read excerpts from the interview after the jump
How did you two meet?
I was promoting a show back then I think in 2003 or 4 and I was right in front of her hostel in Unilag. She walked past and she was like hey Basketmouth, then my fame had just started growing. And she hailed me and walked past. Then I turned and saw her, she was beautiful, and she is still beautiful. For the first time in my life ,I walked after a woman. I asked her for her name and number.
Are you romantic?
I think I am, if not my wife won’t have fallen for me, I try.
How did she actually fall?
I was very persistent and I fought hard.
I tell you persistent guys always end up getting the girl!
