The management of Ghanaian singer Efya has addressed circulating claims about her supposed marriage to Nigerian musician Tomi Thomas, which was reportedly held in a private event in Accra on Valentine’s Day.
In an exclusive interview with Adom FM, her team stated that the gathering was a traditional knocking ceremony involving close relatives and friends, stressing that it was not a wedding.
“The whole thing was not supposed to come out. So, I am wondering why someone would share the videos. Do you know how many people do knocking and nothing happens after? So why would people call it marriage? Because the family is not done, there will even be pressure,” management stated.
It was reported that Efya got married to Nigerian Hip Hop and R&B musician Tomi Thomas.
It was a private ceremony held on February 14, 2026.
The singer became the centre of online discussions after videos of her private wedding surfaced on social media.
The videos also revealed that the singer was heavily pregnant, and that may have necessitated her plan to marry secretly.
Efya was seen in a white gown, happily jamming to her colleagues' R2Bees' performances.
In the videos that made rounds online, she appeared confidently displaying her baby bump while dressed in an elegant, custom-made wedding gown.
Notable figures including Hajia4Real, King Promise, and R2Bees were also reported to have attended the ceremony.
In 2024, Ghanaian musician Bisa K-dei took a significant step in his personal life by getting married.

The ceremony exuded warmth and joy, reflecting the couple's deep commitment to each other.
Congratulations and well-wishes poured in from fans and fellow artists, with the music community expressing their happiness for the artist and sending heartfelt messages of blessings and joy to the newlyweds.
