Singer L.A.X holds Nikkah ceremony after Malta wedding

Nigerian singer L.A.X and his wife Ella recently celebrated their union with a Nikkah ceremony, formalizing their marriage under Islamic law. The intimate event took place in Malta on Thursday evening, following their civil wedding held in September. The ceremony's agenda included an opening prayer, guest introductions, recitation from the Holy Qur'an, expressions of gratitude, a naming ceremony, the Nikkah, blessings, and a concluding prayer. Additionally, donations were made to the mosque.

Despite the inclusion of a naming ceremony, there is no confirmation that Ella converted to Islam, as of yet. The couple announced their civil wedding on Instagram in September, sharing pictures from the ceremony held in Malta. L.A.X expressed his happiness, stating, "Legally hitched to the love of my life, in the most beautiful city, Malta, you have our hearts."

The singer proposed to Ella on January 16, 2026. L.A.X, whose real name is Damilola Afolabi, embarked on his musical journey as a rapper during his secondary school days, forming a group called Flyboiz before venturing into a solo career. He gained widespread recognition in 2013 with his collaboration with Wizkid, the hit song "Caro."

L.A.X further solidified his position in the Nigerian music scene by teaming up with Wizkid again on the track "Ginger."
