Zambian rap sensation Xaven The Kopala Queen, known for her bold persona and hard-hitting lyrics, sat down with Edna on The ZMBtalks for an open conversation about her music career, love life, and future family plans.
During the discussion, Xaven candidly spoke about her four-year relationship with rapper Nez Long, revealing her deep desire to become a mother. “I can’t wait to have my first child. My eggs are literally dancing!” she joked, adding that she envisions having children back-to-back rather than spacing them out.
However, the Kopala Queen made it clear that she does not want to be a baby mama. She firmly believes in getting married before having kids, emphasizing her traditional and Christian values.
When asked about her plans to marry Nez Long, Xaven dismissed any societal pressure to rush into marriage. “We hear all sorts of things happening in marriages,” she said. “We are taking our time, and when we feel it’s the right moment, we will do the needful.”
Xaven humorously referenced viral marital mishaps, quipping, “Shimpoto tule umfwa, ati ponto yali pululuka from Misisi to Kamwala” (we hear that bridges are collapsing from Misisi to Kamwala), implying that rushing into marriage without proper preparation could lead to failure.
When Edna asked about her views on sex before marriage, Xaven stood her ground, stating that she does not believe in it, as it goes against biblical teachings. “Biblically, it’s wrong. You young people need to stop,” she urged.
Her bold stance led Edna to question if she and Nez Long had ever been intimate, to which Xaven playfully responded, “Ah, go and ask him!” Her unwavering confidence sparked speculation that she might actually be a virgin, despite her often provocative lyrics and music videos.
Despite her tough-girl rap image, Xaven remains deeply rooted in her principles. She advocates for young people to uphold strong moral values and follow Christian teachings. Her journey serves as an inspiration to young women, proving that one can be bold, successful, and still stay true to their beliefs.
As she continues to dominate the Zambian music scene, fans will be watching closely to see when wedding bells will ring and when the Kopala Queen will finally embrace motherhood.
