Veteran Nigerian singer and activist, Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, has sparked online buzz after revealing that he is on a mission to find a wife for his 46-year-old son.
The entertainer made the announcement on Friday through posts on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, where he shared details about his son and the qualities he hopes to see in a future partner. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
Charly Boy’s Marriage Hunt for His Son
According to the self-styled Area Fada, his son, who is divorced, is ready to settle down again. Charly Boy noted that he wants to help him find a woman who is mature, responsible, and loving enough to build a lasting marriage.
Though he didn’t disclose his son’s name in the post, he emphasized that his future daughter-in-law should have strong family values and a mindset geared toward partnership rather than competition.
Social Media Reactions
The unusual move quickly stirred mixed reactions online. While some applauded Charly Boy for being open about his family and standing by his son, others teased him for “advertising” his son in public.
“Only Charly Boy can do this. Imagine your father openly scouting for a wife for you online,” one commenter joked.
“At least he is supporting his son instead of pressuring him silently. That’s love,” another wrote.
Charly Boy’s Unconventional Style
This isn’t the first time the Area Fada has made headlines for his outspoken and unconventional lifestyle. Known for blending activism, music, and eccentric fashion, Charly Boy has consistently challenged societal norms throughout his career.
His latest move continues that trend — proving once again that when it comes to family and social issues, Charly Boy does things differently.
