Nigerian gospel sensation Nikki Laoye and her husband, Soul Snatcha, have received what they describe as “double blessings” after welcoming their first child together—a baby girl who arrived precisely on the couple’s third wedding anniversary. The joyous announcement, shared through Laoye’s Instagram account, has sparked an outpouring of congratulations from fans and fellow artists celebrating this remarkable timing.
“Look at God. Our Princess arrived on our 3rd wedding anniversary. Only God could have planned this. Yes o, GodDonDoAmAgain,” wrote the ecstatic mother in her heartfelt announcement post. The couple, who had previously experienced the heartbreak of pregnancy loss, expressed profound gratitude for this new chapter in their lives, describing the birth as “a perfect display of God’s love, goodness and mercy towards us. One we can never forget.”
The significance of their daughter’s arrival date holds special meaning for the couple, who have long considered their wedding date to be divinely blessed. Happy 3rd anniversary to us, baby @soulsnatcha @meetthesnatchas we have always said that our wedding days are blessed,” Laoye shared, emphasizing the spiritual importance they attach to this coincidence.
For Laoye, the birth experience itself appears to have been remarkably positive, as she marveled at her physical well-being following delivery. “I can’t believe I just had a baby. Still as strong as ever. Who is Like the Lord, indeed? Nobody!! We are in awe, I am in great health,” she wrote, expressing amazement at her swift recovery.
The journey to this moment has been marked by both triumph and tragedy for the musical couple. In 2021, Soul Snatcha had announced they were expecting their first child together, but the couple later experienced the devastating loss of that pregnancy. This new arrival therefore represents not just a birth but a profound emotional restoration for the family.
Their story has resonated deeply with fans who have followed their relationship since their engagement and subsequent wedding in March 2022. The couple’s faith-centered perspective on life’s challenges has been evident throughout their public journey, with Laoye frequently sharing spiritual reflections on personal trials and victories.
In her announcement, Laoye referenced a prophetic message delivered at their wedding by Pastor Chingtok: “This is our SEASON OF RE-EMERGENCE – The word God spoke over our lives is still alive & it is moving us into New Dimensions of God’s Goodness and Favor.” For many followers of the couple, this birth represents the fulfillment of that spiritual promise.
The new addition joins an already blended family, as Soul Snatcha had children from a previous relationship before his marriage to Laoye. The gospel singer has embraced her role as stepmother with remarkable openness, having previously penned a touching note to her stepchildren expressing her love and commitment. I was so blessed to have the kids as my own after they lost their mother years ago, and promised to always be there for them,” she wrote in that earlier message, demonstrating the inclusive family dynamics they’ve cultivated.
Laoye playfully referred to their expanding family unit in her announcement, noting “Level 1…Complete Level 2…Complete Level 3..filled with the beauty of our Princess and our Fantastic 4 = Famous 5,” a testament to how they view their family structure as an evolving blessing.
The timing of their daughter’s birth—coinciding exactly with their wedding anniversary—has struck many fans as particularly meaningful given the couple’s public expressions of faith and belief in divine timing. This synchronicity feels especially poignant considering their previous loss and the period of waiting they endured before this joyful arrival.
Nikki Laoye has established herself as one of Nigeria’s most beloved gospel performers, known for hit songs that blend contemporary sounds with spiritual themes. Her marriage to Soul Snatcha, himself a respected figure in the Christian music scene, created what many consider a power couple in gospel music circles.
Throughout her career, Laoye has been transparent about personal struggles and triumphs, using her platform to share messages of hope and resilience. This latest announcement continues that pattern, as she frames the birth of her daughter within a narrative of restoration and divine favor after previous disappointment.
The couple’s announcement has generated thousands of congratulatory messages across social media platforms, with fans and fellow artists celebrating what many describe as “God’s perfect timing.” Their story has particularly resonated with followers who have experienced similar challenges with pregnancy loss or fertility issues, with many commenting that Laoye’s journey gives them hope for their own situations.
For the musical pair, this new arrival represents what Laoye described as “beauty for ashes” and “a second chance of a lifetime,” phrases that hold deep biblical significance for many in their faith community. Her description of their home as “a beacon of God’s unexplainable mercy, the reassurance of His Love and His promise of New beginnings” reflects the couple’s desire to find spiritual meaning in their family journey.
The photographs accompanying the announcement, credited to Soul Snatcha himself through his photography business Shutthersnatcha Media, captured intimate family moments that have further endeared the couple to their followers. This personal touch—the father photographing this milestone—adds another layer of intimacy to their public sharing.
As the couple celebrates both their wedding anniversary and the birth of their daughter, the timing has created what fans are calling a permanent commemoration of their love story. Each anniversary will now mark not only their wedding day but also their daughter’s birthday, intertwining these celebrations for years to come.
For Nikki Laoye and Soul Snatcha, who have built careers expressing faith through music, this remarkably timed blessing appears to be, in their own words, the ultimate “RemixOfALifetime”—a divine orchestration they could never have planned themselves.
