Bloody Civilian has revealed that marriage is not currently part of her plans, despite ongoing pressure from her family to settle down.
Speaking in a recent interview, the 26-year-old Abuja-born artist said she is often questioned by relatives who struggle to understand her decision to prioritise a creative career over traditional expectations.
She explained that cultural norms within her family remain strongly rooted in conventional views of womanhood, particularly regarding marriage.
“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 I’m excited to do,” she said.
“For instance, marriage is not something that I am thinking of at all, but that question keeps being brought up.”
Despite the recurring conversations at home, she said her focus remains firmly on developing her music and personal growth within the industry.
Born Emoseh Khamofu, Bloody Civilian is signed to 0207 Def Jam, the UK division of Def Jam Recordings. She is known for tracks such as How To Kill A Man and Wake Up, featuring Rema, which was included on the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack.
She also gained wider attention through her collaboration Blood on the Dance Floor with Odumodublvck.
