'I guess I lied’ – Efya reacts to old video of her rejecting marriage

Ghanaian singer Efya has playfully admitted that she changed her mind about marriage after an old video of her ruling out the possibility of getting married resurfaced on social media.

The video, which dates back six years, started gaining attention after Nigerian entertainment platform Instablog9ja shared it alongside a wedding photograph of the singer and her Nigerian husband, Tomi Thomas.

In the old footage, Efya, born Jane Awindor, had made it clear that marriage was not something she intended to pursue.

However, the singer appeared to take the situation lightly when she came across the resurfaced post on Instagram.

Reacting in the comment section, she wrote: “Lol I guess I lied … Oppsssssss.”

Her response has since generated reactions from social media users, many of whom have found humour in the difference between her earlier position and her recent decision to marry.

Efya’s response comes shortly after she exchanged vows with Tomi Thomas at a traditional marriage ceremony in Accra on November 6, 2026.

The colourful event attracted several well-known figures from Ghana’s entertainment industry and public life.

Among those present were Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts Minister Abla Dzifa Gomashie, musician Sister Derby, actress Fella Makafui, socialite Hajia4Reall and National Film Authority CEO Kafui Danku, producer Killbeatz, musician Mugeez, among others.

The ceremony also showcased the cultural connection between Ghana and Nigeria, as the couple and their guests appeared in various traditional outfits.

Efya wore an elegant Kente outfit, while gold-themed designs and other colourful traditional clothes added to the beauty of the occasion.

During the celebrations, Tomi Thomas also made his intentions towards the singer known in a video circulating online.

Expressing his desire to spend the rest of his life with Efya, he said: “I sent my parents with the marriage items because I want Efya as my wife.”

Their union follows a knocking ceremony organised by both families on February 14, 2026.

Beyond their wedding, the couple also marked another important family occasion on November 8, 2026, with the dedication of their daughter, Zoe-Blair Adara Nana Efya Ankyaa Oluwateniayo Thomas.

The ceremony took place at Cedar Church (Assemblies of God) and was attended by family members and close friends.
