Popular Nigerian content creator and comedian, Nasty Blaq, has finally opened up about his romantic relationship with Adenike Adeleke, the cousin of award-winning Afrobeats star, Davido. The revelation has sparked conversations across social media, especially among fans who have long speculated about the pair’s closeness.

Nasty Blaq, whose real name is Abisi Emmanuel Ezechukwu, disclosed details about the relationship during a recent interview. While he has often kept his personal life away from the public eye, the comedian surprised many by openly admitting to being romantically involved with Adenike Adeleke. According to him, their bond has developed steadily over time, and what started as a casual friendship blossomed into something deeper.

“Adenike and I have known each other for a while. We started off as friends, and I think that’s what made everything more genuine. There was no pressure, no public expectations at first,” he said. “As we spent more time together, it became clear that there was more than just friendship between us.”

Adenike Adeleke, who hails from the prominent Adeleke family, is known for her elegance, philanthropic activities, and fashion-forward lifestyle. Though not a public figure in the same way as her superstar cousin, Davido, she has garnered attention for her appearances at high-profile events and for her influential social media presence.

The news of the relationship has been met with mixed reactions. While many fans have expressed support and admiration for the couple, others have taken to social media to voice their surprise, largely because Nasty Blaq has rarely been linked publicly to anyone in a romantic context.

In his interview, Nasty Blaq also addressed the challenges that come with dating someone from a high-profile family. “It’s not as easy as people think. There’s a lot of attention, and people are quick to assume or judge. But we’ve both been very intentional about keeping things private and grounded,” he noted.

He went on to emphasize that despite the fame and scrutiny surrounding both of them, their focus has always been on building a meaningful and respectful relationship. “It’s important to keep your peace and not let the noise from outside affect what you have,” he added.

Sources close to the couple have described their relationship as “mature” and “deeply respectful,” with both parties reportedly supporting each other’s careers and personal goals. Nasty Blaq, who has become one of Nigeria’s most recognizable comedic talents with a massive following on Instagram and YouTube, has often hinted at the importance of emotional stability and genuine companionship in his skits and public commentary.

Adenike Adeleke, on her part, has neither confirmed nor denied the relationship publicly, choosing instead to remain silent on the matter. However, she has been spotted on several occasions in the company of the comedian, including private gatherings and family events, further fueling speculation prior to the confirmation.

Many fans see this union as another example of Nigeria’s entertainment and social elite forming close personal and romantic bonds. With the rise of celebrity culture in the country, relationships among entertainers, influencers, and prominent families have become a frequent subject of public interest.

As of now, the couple has not revealed any plans regarding engagement or marriage. Nasty Blaq insisted that they are taking things step by step, prioritizing understanding and compatibility. “We’re just enjoying the moment, learning about each other and seeing where it takes us,” he said.

The news also adds a new layer to the narrative surrounding the Adeleke family, who remain at the center of Nigerian pop culture. With Davido’s own love life often under the spotlight, and now his cousin’s relationship becoming a trending topic, it’s clear the Adeleke family continues to influence headlines beyond music and politics.

For now, fans of both Nasty Blaq and Adenike Adeleke will be watching closely to see how this relationship unfolds. While both individuals are known for maintaining a level of discretion, the public nature of their professions means interest in their private lives is unlikely to wane anytime soon.

Whether or not the pair chooses to reveal more in the future, one thing is clear: this relationship marks a significant moment in Nasty Blaq’s personal journey and offers a rare glimpse into the love life of one of Nigeria’s most beloved comedians.
