For years, Niniola kept her relationship away from the public eye so carefully that many people did not even know she was married. Even in 2025, the singer had publicly denied reports about being married, choosing instead to keep that part of her life private in the industry.
Today, has announced the death of her husband, revealing for the first time a relationship she had kept almost entirely away from public attention for over a decade. 
Her husband, popularly known as Naija Review, was identified as Michael Ndika or Big Mike was, the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Naija Review Ltd, a company involved in artist management, A&R, public relations, media, and music distribution. He also co-owned an NGO known as Adopt-a-Child’s Education
Michael Ndika’s exact age or birth date has not been publicly disclosed. Because he and Niniola kept their relationship entirely private for 13 years, personal background details about him remain scarce in the media. However, given that he attended higher education at the Yaba College of Technology starting in 2001 and graduated from Lagos State University in 2010, where he studied computer science, it is likely that he was in his late 30s or early 40s (Niniola herself is currently 39 years old).
The two had worked together closely behind the scenes since her 2014 breakout hit “Ibadi”, with Ndika taking on management, A&R, and songwriting for her over the years.
While details surrounding his death remain unknown, reactions online have focused on the revelation that the couple had spent thirteen years together away from public scrutiny.
Niniola herself has long been known for protecting her personal life despite her visibility in music.
The news has brought mixed emotions from fans, with colleagues expressing sympathy to the singer as tributes continue to surface online.
