Nigerian singer Mayorkun has sparked reactions after revealing that he wants a prenuptial agreement and a DNA test as part of his plans for marriage and fatherhood.
The singer reportedly said he had told his girlfriend that they would have to sign a prenup and conduct a DNA test if she eventually had a child for him.
According to Mayorkun, his girlfriend was upset when he raised the issue, but he maintained that he wanted certainty about the paternity of any child born during their relationship.
“I told my girlfriend we’d have to do a prenup and DNA test when she gives me a child, just to be sure. She got upset,” he said.
Mayorkun added that he had considered carrying out the DNA test without informing his partner.
“I’ve thought of doing the DNA test without telling her. If it’s my child, no issues. If not, everybody will hear about it,” he added.
His comments have generated debate online, with some people arguing that DNA testing provides certainty about paternity, while others questioned the impact such a demand could have on trust within a relationship.
The singer’s remarks also reignited conversations around prenuptial agreements, paternity tests and the importance of trust and communication between couples before marriage.
While some viewed his position as a precaution against potential future disputes, others argued that secretly conducting a DNA test could create a serious breach of trust if discovered.
Mayorkun’s comments have continued to generate reactions as social media users debate whether couples should openly agree on paternity testing and financial protections before starting a family.
