L.A.X's white wedding in Malta

Beyond the music, L.A.X., real name Damilola Afolabi, carries a notable family name.

The singer is the son of Taiwo Afolabi, a prominent Nigerian billionaire businessman and lawyer who is the founder and chairman of SIFAX Group.

L.A.X and Emmanella's white wedding comes a few months after they sealed their union with a traditional wedding in Nigeria in June.

Footage from the ceremony showed the newlyweds dressed in their wedding outfits as they exchanged their vows.

A separate video showed LAX and Ella making a celebratory entrance into their reception, dancing their way in as cheers erupted around them.

The popular Nigerian singer and his new wife chose Malta as the backdrop for their union rather than a conventional Nigerian celebration, opting for an elopement-style gathering in one of Europe's most historically rich destinations.

Who Is L.A.X?

L.A.X built his reputation in the Nigerian music industry off the back of tracks, including "Caro" featuring afrobeats superstar Wizkid, which helped cement his standing in the Afrobeats space.

He has also collaborated with other top artistes like Black Sherif, Wande Coal and many others.

He has maintained a relatively low profile compared to some of his contemporaries, making this public sharing of his wedding moment a rare and significant personal reveal for his fanbase.

The choice of Naxxar, a quiet town in the heart of Malta known for its baroque architecture and centuries-old palazzos, speaks to the couple's preference for understated luxury over spectacle.
