Nigerian gospel singer Yinka Ayefele has described having children despite his spinal cord injury as a miracle. Ayefele highlighted that typically, men with spinal cord injuries might not be able to impregnate a woman, making his situation quite rare.
During an appearance on the ‘Curiosity Made Me Ask’ show, hosted by content creator Bae U Barbie, Ayefele refuted claims that he “bought” his children. He clarified that he impregnated his wife, who then gave birth to their triplets.
When the host expressed surprise about Ayefele having three children, asking, “How did you do it?” Ayefele responded, “How did I do what? Curious that I impregnated my wife? How did I get three kids? You would have seen pregnant women before. I impregnated my wife, she got pregnant, and had triplets. You thought I bought them? I don’t understand what you mean. I know you are curious; you want to talk about my spinal cord injury. Anybody who has a spinal cord injury might not be able to impregnate a lady. Yeah, it’s a fact, it’s one out of a hundred.”
Ayefele started his music career in 1997 after a car accident that damaged his spinal cord, making him reliant on a wheelchair. He is married to Temitope Titilope, and they are blessed with three children.
