    Yinka Ayefele speaks on buying his triplets amid spinal cord injury

    Speaking on Bae U Barbie’s ‘Curiosity Made Me Ask’ show, the ‘Odun Ikore’ singer noted that it is rare for a man with a spinal cord injury to impregnate a woman, highlighting his unique case.

    He debunked the claims that he “bought” his children, clarifying that he impregnated his wife, who then gave birth to their triplets.

    The host asked, “I’m shocked you said you have three beautiful and amazing kids. My question is, how did you do it?”

    Ayefele replied, “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 and 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.”

    In December 12, 1997, Ayefele had an automobile accident which has kept him in a wheelchair since then.

    He began his music career in 1997 and got married to Temitope three years later. They now have four male children.
