I guess I lied – Efya on her marriage u-turn

Ghanaian singer Efya has responded humorously after a resurfaced video of her declaring that she would never get married began circulating on social media following her wedding to Nigerian musician Tomi Thomas.

The award-winning vocalist needed just a few words to acknowledge the apparent contradiction after Nigerian entertainment blog Instablog9ja shared a wedding portrait of the couple alongside a six-year-old video in which she expressed her reluctance to walk down the aisle.

Rather than ignore the post, Efya took to the blog’s Instagram comment section and admitted that she had changed her mind, writing: “Lol I guess I lied … Oppsssssss.”

Her lighthearted response quickly attracted attention, with social media users reacting to the contrast between her earlier declaration and her recent decision to get married.

The development comes days after the singer, born Jane Awindor, tied the knot with Tomi Thomas in a traditional marriage ceremony held in Accra on Friday, November 6, 2026.

The ceremony brought together several prominent personalities from Ghana’s entertainment industry, including Minister of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts Abla Dzifa Gomashie, musician Sister Derby, actress Fella Makafui, socialite Hajia4Reall and National Film Authority Chief Executive Officer Kafui Danku.

The celebration also highlighted the cultural ties between Ghana and Nigeria, with the couple and their guests embracing traditional fashion.

In one of the videos circulating on social media, Tomi Thomas openly expressed his desire to marry the Ghanaian singer, saying: “I sent my parents with the marriage items because I want Efya as my wife.”

The wedding followed a traditional knocking ceremony held by the families on February 14, 2026. At the time, Efya’s management dismissed reports that the couple had secretly married, clarifying that the event was a knocking ceremony and that the customary marriage processes had not been completed.

The couple’s wedding celebrations continued on Sunday, November 8, when family and friends gathered for the dedication of their baby daughter, Zoe-Blair Adara Nana Efya Ankyaa Oluwateniayo Thomas, at Cedar Church (Assemblies of God).
