Ykee Benda Reveals How Marriage Made Him More Responsible

Ykee Benda is embracing a new season of life, and this time it is not just about music.

The Ugandan singer, born Wyclif Tugume, recently opened up about how marriage has reshaped his outlook.

Speaking in a recent interview, he said settling down has made him more grounded and intentional about life beyond fame.

Getting married is important because you need someone who will stay with you when you grow old.

After experiencing public relationships in the past, Ykee says he now values privacy.

Keeping his marriage away from constant attention, he believes, has strengthened the bond.

He describes his wife as his best friend and says family life has pushed him to be more disciplined and responsible.

The singer made his commitment official with a traditional wedding ceremony, known as a kwanjula, held on September 13, 2025, in Najeera.

The colorful ceremony followed a kukyala introduction earlier in July, where he formally met his wife Emily Nyawira’s family.

For Ykee, music careers evolve, but family remains.

And as he balances fame with fatherhood and marriage, fans are witnessing a calmer, more mature version of the artist.
