Popular Nigerian gospel singer Nathaniel Bassey has issued a firm warning to women expressing admiration for him, making it clear that he is devoted to his wife. His statement came during the grand finale of his widely followed Hallelujah Challenge, an online praise and worship session.
According to reports from GistLover, Nollywood actress Juliana Olayode had previously revealed that some women had been sending the gospel singer messages on TikTok, openly expressing their romantic interest in him. This revelation sparked reactions among his fans, leading Bassey to address the matter directly.
During a live video shared at the end of the Hallelujah Challenge, Bassey dismissed any possibility of him considering another woman. “I have no intention of marrying another wife,” he stated firmly. To emphasize his commitment, he humorously added that he had already bought walking sticks for himself and his wife to use when they grow old together.
The Jesus Iye singer also took a moment to explain why his wife was absent from the Hallelujah Challenge. He revealed that she was in South Africa, enjoying herself while spending his money. His lighthearted explanation entertained many of his followers, further reinforcing his deep bond with his wife.
Bassey also addressed those who might be hoping to take his wife’s place, making it clear that they were wasting their time. “No one can replace my wife,” he declared, shutting down any speculation about his relationship status. Rather than expressing anger, he prayed for the women who had feelings for him. “May that desire for me end in Jesus’ name,” he prayed, drawing both laughter and amens from his audience.
In the same video, the Tobechukwu singer gave a heartfelt shout-out to his two children. He celebrated them publicly and encouraged his fans to appreciate their love and support, further highlighting his dedication to his family.
Meanwhile, Bassey’s Hallelujah Challenge has continued to inspire many. Social media users have shared testimonies of how their lives changed through the program. Popular food blogger Sisi Yemmie was among those who testified, revealing how God healed her from chronic back pain. With the event’s success, Bassey remains one of Nigeria’s most influential gospel figures, using his platform to uplift and inspire.
