Popular rap artiste, Solomon Oyeniyi, aka K-Solo and his wife, Matop, talk about their marriage in an interview qith Punch
How did you meet you wife?
K-Solo:
She was like a daughter to me before she became my wife. I was watching
over her before I finally proposed to her. We were friends and I used
to advise her about men then too. When we met, I had more female fans
than males. Most of the things that were written in the media were false
stories, but she has been a very good friend.
Was that before or after your separation from your first marriage?
K-Solo:
We were friends from a distance before I got separated. We would chat
and talk but never met for two years. I grew up in the midst of women.
When we eventually met, we did not spend up to 20 minutes with each
other. It was a feeling that grew to this extent.
How did it develop?
K-Solo: It
got to a point where I knew I would know her personally. I found that I
wished I had somebody like her, with the experiences she had and things
she had in her head. But I could not tell her that I wanted her. But
one day, it just happened.
How did you feel when he proposed to you?
Matop: I was surprised, happy and excited as well, although I was expecting it.
You accepted the proposal without thinking about it…
Matop: I did not have to think about it. We wanted each other.

Were there concerns about his previous marriage?
Matop:
Before I accepted to go out with him, I knew all that and I accepted
him that way. I could not have rejected him because of what had already
happened. Even if I did not accept his proposal, someone else would. I
do not see him in that light. That is his past and I am supposed to
focus on us.
Did your family oppose the marriage?
K-Solo:
I had little opposition from my family because I already had a bad
press. They were skeptical if I could handle a woman. She was not in
Nigeria then, she is from Cameroon. We had that little opposition and I
was no longer interested. She kept encouraging me to move on. She
actually changed me and gave me the chance to love again, because I had a
bitter experience. I could not imagine a woman who would kneel down to
give me food to eat and holding the plate in her hands while I ate,
turning around to hurt, harm me and claim to have a child for me. I had
already seen it all and did not know what else to expect from a new
woman. I was wondering what the new woman would do to please me or make
me feel that it could be better. It took God’s grace to change me and
the fact that we are actually meant to be. At the end, my family stood
by me and told me to do whatever makes me happy.
Matop:
My family is open and they welcomed him warmly when I introduced him to
them. They got along well immediately and started referring to him as a
friend.
What pet name do you call each other?
K-Solo: I call her Aya Oba which means the wife of a king. Sometimes, I call her Alomo oko which means a clingy wife. She likes to cling to me.
Matop: I call him Oba which means, My King, or Ademi meaning, My Crown.
What do you love about her?
K-Solo:
She is a good cook. I do not know what any other woman outside can give
me, which she does not have. I have tasted everything; I do not see
anything in a woman outside that would impress me. I see her like my
sibling and not a wife. Sometimes, I reprimand her or straighten her up.
At other times, I let her know that I want to be petted.
Matop:
He is an artiste and producer outside, but I do not see him that way at
home. He is a different person from what he is outside. He does not mix
work with family time. He is the best man I could have ever wished for.
He is amazing and loving.
How would you describe the marriage?
K-Solo: It is the best. I am not moving somewhere else and this is where I want to be. She makes me discover my new person every day.
Matop: It has been blissful, interesting and fun.
