I am ready to get married again – KSB

4 Min Read

It’s been ten years already since award-winning Gospel singer, natural-born chef and mother of three, Kenny Saint Best parted ways with her ex-husband Eddy Remedy. But now the singer is ready to get married again.

During an interview, KSB said this month makes it ten years since she walked away from her former union, she is therefore ready to give marriage another shot.

She went on to say that she had a pact with God to have a man by her side by the time she celebrates her 50th birthday.

“I told God that when I am doing my 50th birthday, there must be a man beside me. That is the deal I struck with God. It is exactly ten years that I have been single, so I am ready now. I was waiting for my children to grow and become teenagers so that I would have given them all of my time so that there would not be divided attention between them and the new daddy or husband. Now I am through with all that, I am ready for a new husband,” she said.

KSB, who has been in the music industry for over a decade, said she had been condemned for partnering with secular musicians like the eccentric but talented Terry G, the late Dagrin, Ice Prince and MI, to mention a few.

“The condemnation I have got from people because I collaborate with secular musicians has been ‘mega’ but there is an adage in Yoruba that says, ‘when you are commissioned to do a job, it is who sent you that you revere and not the person you are to deliver the message to’. This is because you are answerable to the person that gave you the assignment. In my case, such condemnation was expected but they were not the one that gave me the assignment. If God gives you an assignment and you carry it out, your reward is from the person that gave you the assignment.

“When I was singing praise, it was the assignment I got. When I was to do evangelistic music and also street-gospel, it was the assignment given to me that I was following. I am not answerable to anybody but God and since I am answerable to Him, my reward would come from Him and not man. I was able to take gospel music to some corners that other gospel musicians might not. I gave people songs that they could play beyond Sunday morning; people thanked me for providing gospel songs that can be played anytime and was not limited to just Sunday mornings. There were vacuums to be filled and I filled them; through that, the reward came along and heaven smiled on me. You just have to know your assignment and you have to be rugged and dogged about it.”

The multiple award-winning artiste, who hasn’t staged a concert in about a decade, spoke about her forthcoming concert and what fans should expect.

“For the first time, I would have an all-female worshippers on the line-up of my concert. Also, most of the female worshippers are lead singers from different churches. Many people do not know that Yinka Davies is a worshipper but she would be present to thrill the crowd on that day. My back-up singers of about 17 years ago would share the stage with me; the likes of Essence, Monique, Bola. They are all superstars now but we would share the stage together,” KSB said.
