Charly Boy Marries Second Wife
Controversial musician,
Charly Boy has claimed that he has taken a second wife despite celebrating his 38th wedding anniversary to ‘first’ wife, Lady D recently. Charly Boy and Lady D have five children together.
According to the self- titled ‘Area Fada’ he met his second wife Ify Koko when she called in during a radio programme about a year ago and they made things ‘permanent’ a few months ago.
Charly boy has said his new marriage has not and will not in any way affect his marriage to Lady D. He said “Diane is still with me, we are not divorced, we have been happily married for 38 years now and she is the Chief wife mother of my home and all my children and that is not changing.
“she goes no leave, no transfer. Every other woman I have live in their separate places. I really don’t see the big deal about it, people are over blowing the whole thing. I am an African man and i can marry as much as I can take care of and I don’t believe in divorce”, he stated.
On his new wife, he said “I met her on another radio show. She was one of the callers and that was how it all started. I have known her for over a year now until we decided to make it a permanent thing few months ago. Somebody of my status needs more than one wife. I need many wives, many children and plenty of love that will do it for me.”
“Koko is the 18th woman in my life right now and she is the latest. As you can see, I am looking younger because I am very happy with my new bride who is very beautiful and supportive. I have also decided to go on air with her because she has something to bring to the table, she is an advertiser and human resources manager. I am now married to Ify Koko, a Nigerian-Ethopian”, he disclosed.
Fans of the artiste however, remain skeptical, with deeming the entire event mere publicity for Charly boy’s new radio talk show with Ms Koko called talk junction.
R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.
“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.
“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.
Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.
The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
A close associate of late singer Mohbad, Primeboy, has appealed for the artiste’s burial nearly three years after his death.
According to him, Mohbad’s body remains in the mortuary since September 12, 2023, pending burial arrangements.
The Tide Entertainment reports that in a statement Primeboy urged the family, public, and government to permit the burial, stating, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
It would be recalled that Mohbad’s death sparked public outrage, protests, and investigations. Ongoing autopsy examinations, police inquiries, and legal proceedings have delayed burial arrangements amid family disagreements and public scrutiny.
