Yinka Ayefele, the ace Nigerian gospel singer, has dismissed claims he is not the biological father of his triplets.
On December 12, 1997, the singer was involved in a car crash that damaged his spinal cord and impeded his ability to walk.
Ayefele also welcomed a set of triplets with Temitope, his wife, in 2019 — much to the surprise of many as it is medically believed that it is difficult for men with his condition to impregnate a woman.
Speaking on the latest episode of Curiosity Made Me Ask, the singer wondered why people are curious about how he impregnated his wife.
He stated that “I did not buy my triplets”, clarifying that he impregnated his wife and she gave birth to their triplets naturally.
Ayefele said although a man with a spinal cord injury might not be able to impregnate a woman, his case was rare.
“I’m shocked you said you have three beautiful and amazing kids. My question is, how did you do it?” the host asked.
In his reply, Ayefele said: “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 do not 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 is a fact, it is one out of a hundred.”
