Published on September 25, 2019, Jua Cali's marriage has faced its share of challenges, with the biggest one being his frequent travels.

As a Genge rapper, Jua Cali has been away from his family for over two decades, missing out on important family moments.

'The biggest challenge is that when I married my wife could not understand me because I used to travel a lot,' Jua Cali said in an interview.

He had to constantly remind his wife that his travels were for work, and not for any other reason.

His wife, Lilly Asigo, admitted that she sometimes checks his inbox messages to see what's happening, and even asked for his password to keep an eye on his interactions.

Despite the challenges, Jua Cali believes that marriage opens up more opportunities for celebrities, and advises them not to fear it.
