Nigerian Afrobeat star, songwriter and instrumentalist, Harrison Tare Okiri, aka Harrysong has attracted reactions by setting a new record, marrying 30 women in a single day.
Even though the move is being described as another publicity stunt by some social media who saw a glimpse of the video, Harryson has kept mum on the issue.
This achievement surpasses the legendary Fela Anikulapo Kuti’s record of marrying 27 wives in a day with Harrysong saying he shares a lot of similarities with Fela and draws inspiration from him, but would not comment on the 30 wives rumour flying around.
The founder of Alter Plate records, Harrysong, is now at the center of media attention, with news outlets buzzing about this unprecedented feat.
The event unfolded in a visually striking manner, as captured in a video where Harrysong is seen amidst a congregation of women, all adorned in uniform traditional attire—a clear indication of the newly minted brides.
The video has since gone viral, triggering widespread speculation and discussion about the singer’s motivation behind this unconventional move.
The Afrobeat singer’s bold move raises questions about societal norms and expectations, prompting discussions on the evolving dynamics of relationships and marriage in contemporary times.
Some are lauding his audacity, while others are curious about the practical aspects of managing such a unique marital arrangement.
When asked what the video and 30 wives idea were about, Harrysong simply said his fans should watch out for the video which will be released in the coming days.
Harrysong was to marry former beauty queen, Harriet Edide around 2016 but canceled it because of blood groups, according to reports. He later married Alexer (Alex) Perez Gopa in 2021 at Warri, Delta State.
