I never hid my child's paternity but I felt that since I'm not married, I don't need to come out and say this is the father of my child. It is always ideal for someone who wants to marry you to be the one to identify himself. Another thing is that he might not want to identify himself because he is not an artiste. He might not want that part of my life. He might just love me and my child. So I like to respect people's privacy. I also strongly feel that it is my job as a musician to entertain you and if you feel like my personal life is your business, it doesn't mean I feel the same way.
Initially when I got pregnant, I didn't feel the need to come out and start telling people that this is the father of my child. I didn't feel I owed it to anyone.She says a lot more. Read after the jump...
My family and my close friends know who the father of my child is because we’re in a relationship. We have a very healthy relationship and our families are intertwined. I don't think I need to start telling people all this.
I felt so bad about the stories people are writing about my child's paternity because normally, controversies don't get to me and my daughter don’t have to be part of this. So when people start putting that kind of stuffs in print and my daughter stumbles upon it when she is old enough to read, it will hurt her.
Considering the kind of upbringing I had, I'm not that morally bankrupt that I will now fraternize with a married man that is like a father figure to me.
You want to reveal his identity?
I don't feel that will be necessary. I just want to use this opportunity to tell people that I will try as much as possible to be a normal artiste and I want to encourage people to try and enjoy my music. It’s not easy but they should just try not to be concerned about my private life. They should know that I'm a human being and they should try to understand that I tried to be a person that people can look up to.

Gbam!!! Omawunmi kari go jawee!
Josh say o ( only if linda will post it!)
Gud2hear...
Oma, the paternity of your kid is your personal business and that of your child, but then it will surely get to a time in her life when people will use that to make fun of her, I hope it doesn't get to that.
Well said girl. People should respect other people's privacy irrespective of whether they are in the public eye or not. S
Well said
Attacker is not mad...BLAQ_mAN
Omawunmi is just so humble!
Awwwww...Sweet Lady!
Her life, her choices..well done Omawunmi Visit www.buiti.blogspot.com
I think she's got a point there, the poor girl deserves her privacy and this needs to be respected. She is a star but at the same time has got a life behind the camera, so plzzzz....let the girl breathe and let the paternity of her kid be left out of it....after all, so many people today were born out of wedlock too. Olofofos! Shooooo!
I love her perspective about her love life.
The idea is Rich.
The likes of Linda always want to know and know and know.....
Well, the padlock to her privacy is still locked.
Lolz.
hey please post ma comment. . .u are a really really informed chic ur jists are interesting keep it up
If her ways are str8, I don't see d reason 4 her hiding d parternity of d poor girl.
Una don hear her......hehehehe WISDOM!
i am the father of her child, sue me??
Women love marriage and love to flaunt their hubby to whoever cares to see.The likes of mj,omosexy,jenifa can attest to that.I wonder why oma will have one and hid it from public view.99% of women dont know the father of their child because they sleeps with every tom,dick and harry.mostly when they are desperate for marriage.If one of their lover denies the pregnancy they will go to other lovers who had sex with her too.It is ony DNA that can prove the right ful owner.
Who cares
Did I hear her say (am not morally bankrupt)what do u call getting pregnant outta wedlock?
I'm right behind you girl.those who will love will always love you.
Let her shatap der, d father is fat tosin that went to kc, he use 2 run zamunda...n y she can't identify is cos he accepted the child not her, he had a steady girlfriend of 5yrs n at d time he was a bit low in his relationship, omawunmi served has d other woman, her pregnancy was such a mistake. N mawunmi is like 10yrs older dan him....so let her just shut it der......
Shut up! She knows her Father,so there's no reason to make fun of her. Omawumi Dear,it's ur private life and not public biz.Your life as an artiste is different from ur personal life,keep it that way.
Like to say if she tell you the pikin papa, ona two go share responsibility of taking care of the pikin
Yeah so many kids are born out of wed lock and. Out of known paternity,few are trained to be useful to the society.most has remained useless turning into kidnapping and so many other vises..like this we will have generation of non paternity children and worst is about to happen. Wishing her well big time
You dey take our money but you know want us to know how far with you. ABI.Forget privacy because you are a public figure that is benefiting from the public.
Bullshit! Ur meant to be a role model and not a poster child for having kids outside wedlock!! You made your choices. Live with it and stop with the dodgy comments...shioo!
Omawunmi signed a record deal not a role model deal, I don't see why she should even feel pressured to release a statement on this. These people are not famous for being bastions of virtue or propriety. Omawunmi is famous because she makes good music. If a musician on TV or the radio is raising your child you have failed as a parent.
Na u Sabi!
Ur stupidity is verified on twitter. If your own ways are str8, tell us d first time u hit climax. Elegushi bitch. Dnt call d girl "poor" sef cus she's liteally richer dan u are.
Hiss who cares. Nt morally backrupt? And u av a child out of wedlock at ur age? As old as u are? Ok I hear u. Linda pls post dis comment
Warri babe
Warri babe
why is she hiding her baby father? is he not proud of him?
*singing*if u ask me,na who I ask.Omawumi dear,carry go
What concern me wiv all dis bullshit. Madam pls park well jare cos am too allergic to such story,if u like born ur pikin 4 old papa u'r on ur own Abegiii#Next pls
And y didnt u paste my comment?,,maybe visiting here will be d best option cos nairaland and others are there!
Yorubas say "Aito odo o to si ni ki elede o diju, ki konko o diju" (which shortly means if you are bold enough, you'll definitely face the reality.) If these so-called 'role models' are giving birth out of wedlock, what kind of foundation are they laying down for their children and their fans? Where in the Bible or Qur'an is it mentioned that you must give birth out of wedlock? These are the issues parents must strongly look into. The bible as well says teach your child so that he may give you rest. A child or children born out of wedlock has a name. We all know it. It is anti-christian and as well anti-islam. Get married first, then have your children. May the Lord save us all when these type of chilren are growing up. Our future lies in our palms. Good day.
Babe no mind any mudfker I beg dey born dey go joor.
Well said, you owe nobody any explaination as far as your private life is concerned. Btw love your music. Keep up the good work
And ur point here is???? Grammar speaker
I love you Omawumi, but if u have a child together, and claim to have such a healthy relationship, how come he hasn't married u? Doesn't seem to add up to me. Secondly, once u sign up to be in the public eye, people don't just say aww dats her personal life, lets not go there. Just give up dat dream. If u don't wanna disclose, fine but don't expect to do stuff and get a way with it under the guise of "my personal life". Don't forget I love u. Mmuaah!
#FANESTFAN
Whose biz is it if she decide to tell us de Father of ha girl,its her life pls,so many of u here re single mothers n so many guys have children without paying a dime,so y leaving a holy@ thou life?pls leave her private live alone

Tnx 4 d details.....Thot as much....jst knew sumfin was fishy!!!!
You are very correct!!!!!! You must be an insiderr cos I am tooo
Looking lustfully is a sin,getting pregnant out of wedlock is what?why do people justify wrong doing...oh Jesus!!what's dis world turning into??? Rapture pls take place cos d sins of dis generation is too much..
i wonder why omawunmi is bothering to answer you fools making noise out here.....you promiscuous lot cos you commit abortion and nobody knows you sit her and make noise....her baby has a father and its obvious they cant marry but she doesn't owe you his name.....you idiots who make noise are the same one that will hound her when she does yet you make noise.....she will not tell and its better for her, wish other celebrities will follow suit so your gossip itchy ears can rest.....oshisco.....bloody hypocrites yet they hide under anonymous and insult others
That's my boss Seun Apara...
U dnt own anybody any explanation,dey r just whining der mouth.
hehehehe....If u ask me, Na who I go ask? Our celebrities av lost it.
Never knew sensible nigerians still exist. Quite impressed by some comments. Tut immorality Is now the norm but some are stil morally updated. Wunmi do ask God for forgivess and bring up ur child in His ways. I don PORT...
And u deduced that from ds short interview? Abi na yur neighbour. Gbeborun
So?
Very pointless comment!
You sacrificed your private life the day you signed a record deal to become a recording artist. U r a celebrity, kind of. You cannot claim to have a private life. It is what it is.
why is she feeling sad? she screwed the screw,so she should bear the consequences. Next time use a condom outside marriage.
Well said girl. People should respect other people's privacy irrespective of whether they are in the public eye or not. hisssss

@Anonymous 7:09; See how some of you reason? Who is talking about the girl not knowing her dad? You Mr/Miss Anonymous, Don't your friends know who your father is? I bet they do, so think of it for a teenager growing up and her friends asking her about who is her daddy and all she says is "I can't tell you who he is", wouldn't that come with stigma?
Dunt mind dis babe jare! D father of her dota is a big boy,owns a club on d island and he is happily married wth kids(hv frgtn his name jare)..she agreed nt to reveal his identity since he's agreed to tk respnsibility of d child..omawunmi I like u too much but pls we kno d koko..keep his identity to save his home while u remain his baby mama..
Oh shut up already!! Blabber! Mtchew.

Omawumi u dey copy waje abi waje dey copy you?lol......waje sef get pikin of 15 years old....chai!
All I can say is...thank God, man no be God. Human beings are too damn judgemental. Remove the 3rd mainland bridge from ur eyes biko!

Wat is wrong is wrong,we shouldn't try and cover it up with excuses.Having children out of welock is bad.end of story.asides from dat it is a sin so stop making excuses cos they will stand out on the day of Judgment
The mistake is already don,so just move on,the thing is giving birth out of wedlock is on the increase now and people are so cool ba
well omawunmi, i know the father of your child, His name is Tosin ( surname withheld ), he lives in Lekki phase 1. his parent never liked the ideal of him dating and getting an artist pregnant, that is why he is not married to you, so no need for all this your cock and bull story. My dear, there is no secret in this earth, someone will always know
whats your problem pricez Zoe or whatever you are called...she is living her life just live yours....get a grip
From a reliable source, the father of that child is Gov. Emmanuel Uduagha, the governor of delta state. Let omo come and defend her self......
The matter wey you see so...e heavy for mouth!
I don't see no difference btw her and that p-square lola gal!! Child outside wedlock is something else.. If she is entitled to her privacy, so is lola... U pple are so biased... Gosh....

Mmmnnnnnn...but you were morally bankrupt enough to have premarital sex and a child out of wedlock. Omawunmi, you should've just kept quiet and reconcile with God who is able to handle all situations perfectly

You shouldn't have gotten pregnant at the first place Considering the kind of upbringing u claimed u had, so if u are morally bankrupt to have a child out of wed lock, u can equally fraternize with a married man.

@sunday otuns I feel u on dat one, no homo. If ur ways r str8, why play games? When ur music is public, tryn to av a private life could be tricky since u r a role model to many. Very soon, every woman in naija will think it is swagalicious to av kids outta wedlock.
Free english. If u no proud to show a guy off as ur baby daddy, abeg use condoms jo!

And I assume you are a virgin?
If u ask me? Naa who I go ask??? Is dat not enuf to tell u her situation? Make una leave omawumi alone abeg.

tosn ko toskanini ni. this is an inside source stating it clear that omawunmi's baby father is a governor from D. shes been paid heavily to shut up and his wife is aware.
So dat her if u ask me song is a reply to critics on her preg. Na wa ooo. It just clickd....mehn...modupetemi
She does not like the stories circulating about the child's paternity. That's all.Having a child outside wedlock, did it start today? Was it a mistake made by a small girl? Was she not up to 29 or 30 years when she had that child? She is complaining that some members of the press are insinuating that a state Governor fathered the child, not that the child was had outside marriage. Nobody is going to ask the child anything later in life. Let's not pretend to be puritans. Some people gain 100% joy from having a child than not having at all if they don't get married.
As the child grows, the need to continue hiding the father's identity will decrease. So, Prince Charming, the child already knows the father just like close friends and family do. She will likely bear the surname and will not have use for this secrecy, Ok?
Don't knw ppl wil nt just mind deir business,som say uduagan is responsible,odas say dharkta frabs.u folks shuld mind ur bizness,cos omawunmi is a humble,better dan most of u iphone n blackberry gals(miss party hard..and evrytin is loading)go get a life.leave our Ekpoma graduate alone,we luv her and we r proud of her...thumbs up gal.if u dey vex go push train or lick bag of salt
anywia in d world,once ure a public figure,u have jettisoned ur private life cos ur fans and enemies follow u 24/7.
the onus is on the star to be decent if she doesnt want to be talked about
she is not the first or the last person to have a child outside wedlock.most of u are jus hypocrites,how many children have u aborted?because she has a child outsd wedlock doesnt mean shes irresponsible or lacks home training,somtym its destiny.for y'al that are talking rubbish n being judgemental,go and ask ur parents welll cs im sure u were born outta wedlock too>rubbish#
