Nigerian vocal powerhouse Aituaje Iruobe, popularly known as Waje, has revealed that she is officially engaged.
The 45-year-old made the announcement during an interview with Hip TV in Lagos, sharing the news briefly without disclosing further details about her partner or the proposal.
Waje’s revelation comes months after she publicly stated that she could not commit to a relationship with an unambitious or struggling man, noting that her age no longer affords her the patience for such challenges. Speaking previously on The Honest Bunch podcast, she explained that her life experiences have shaped her expectations.
During the same conversation, the singer opened up about her early personal struggles, recalling how the father of her daughter denied the pregnancy and abandoned her when she was still a teenager. Despite the hardship, Waje continued to pursue her dreams in music.
The award-winning vocalist also shared insights into her early career and revealed that she was the uncredited female voice behind P-Square’s 2007 smash hit “Do Me.”
According to Waje, she delivered the song’s memorable chorus but received neither official recognition nor payment for her contribution at the time. She recounted how people doubted her claims because her name was not listed on the track.
Waje added that she could not appear in the music video for the song because she did not have a passport when the video was shot. Nonetheless, the success of “Do Me” helped introduce her talent to a nationwide audience.

P-Square—made up of twin brothers Peter and Paul Okoye—later split in 2016 over personal and managerial disagreements, briefly reunited in 2021, and eventually returned to their individual music careers.
Waje’s candid reflections and her engagement announcement mark a significant new chapter in her life, both personally and professionally.
