Ghanaian singer Efya is laughing at her past self after an old clip of her declaring she would never walk down the aisle circulated widely following her traditional wedding to Nigerian musician Tomi Thomas.

The video resurfaced just days after the couple exchanged traditional marriage rites in Accra on Friday, November 6, 2026, before holding their white wedding the next day.

Popular Nigerian entertainment blog Instablog9ja brought the contrast to everyone's attention with an Instagram post featuring a photo of the newlyweds, noting that the 39-year-old Ghanaian singer had reportedly vowed never to marry six years before finally doing exactly that. The post also flagged the couple's six-year age gap, with Tomi Thomas being 33.

Efya, born Jane Awindor, went straight to the comments section and owned it entirely.

"Lol I guess I lied ... Oppsssssss," she wrote under the post, turning what could have been an awkward moment into one that fans found endearing.

Efya and Tomi Thomas' traditional wedding

The ceremony in Accra brought together family, close friends and a notable cross-section of the Ghanaian entertainment industry. Minister for Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts Abla Dzifa Gomashie was among the guests, alongside Sister Derby, Fella Makafui, Hajia4Reall, Efia Odo and actress Kafui Danku.

Their relationship had been building publicly for some time. In February 2026, their families held a knocking ceremony on Valentine's Day, though their management was quick to clarify at the time that the event did not constitute the completion of traditional marriage rites.

Efya's previous views on marriage

The resurfaced video added an extra layer of intrigue to what was already a widely followed celebrity wedding. For years, Efya had been vocal about not seeing marriage as part of her path, making her playful Instagram admission all the more entertaining for those who had followed her career.
