The queer music star, born Oluwafisayo Isa, said in a recent interview that while she is thinking seriously about having children, she does not want to carry them in her womb.
Speaking with Madame Joyce, the openly gay artiste shared her personal take on motherhood and the non-traditional path she plans to take in building a family.
“I’m at a phase in my life when I’m thinking about having kids. I feel like I would be a great mom, but I don’t want to carry the baby in my womb. My partner is going to carry it,” Darkoo explained.
Her candid revelation is part of a broader narrative where she continues to break boundaries in music and personal life.
Known for her confident energy and stylish persona, Darkoo’s comments quickly gained traction among fans and LGBTQ communities, many of whom applauded her for her honesty and alternative view of parenting.
Darkoo stressed that her choice is not a rejection of motherhood but a redefinition of it. For her, being a mother goes beyond biology and is rooted in emotional and mental connection.
“Being a mother is not just about blood. It’s about how you love and care for a child,” she said.
Motherhood is a feeling. It’s about nurturing. You don’t have to give birth to be a mother
The artist’s remarks highlight the evolving landscape of parenting and family-making among modern queer couples.
Her decision challenges conventional expectations and adds to growing conversations around gender roles, reproductive choice, and freedom in LGBTQ relationships.
This is not the first time Darkoo has spoken openly about deeply personal matters. In early 2024, she revealed that coming out to her family, particularly her mother, was a significant and liberating step in her life.
“Telling my mum about my sexuality lifted a huge weight off my shoulders,” she previously shared. “Since then, I’ve been a lot happier.”
Her willingness to speak about sexuality, family, and now motherhood has made her a relatable voice for many young people navigating similar identities.
While some may see her stance as unconventional, others are praising her for standing by her truth and advocating for choice and authenticity.
The artist, who has built a strong following across the UK and Nigeria, has been hailed not just for her music but for her fearlessness in expressing her full identity—on stage and off it.
As fans continue to react to her plans for motherhood, the message is clear: there are many ways to build a loving family, and each person has the right to choose what works best for them.
Darkoo’s stance is also part of a wider shift among young celebrities who are using their platforms to challenge outdated norms and spotlight inclusivity, choice, and compassion.
