Rivers State-born songstress, Muma Gee’s marriage to her popular actor-husband, Prince Eke broke up late last year with the latter accusing the artiste of infidelity and other issues. Muma Gee who had yet to talk about what transpired in her marriage eventually opened up to the press on why her marriage crashed.
The singer said, “it is exactly one year ago that I separated from my ex-husband. But then, he gave the impression that the issue happened in December, 2016. I put in my best as an African woman to ensure the marriage lasted. Because of his antecedent, I had almost called off my wedding. I had already done the traditional marriage”.
“This sign that I saw then would have made me to call it off, I didn’t go ahead to do a court wedding after the church wedding , this is just the singular reason. I saw what was coming, but I tried for six years to make it work”.
I gave up all I had built over the years to become a full time house wife, it is enough sacrifice for somebody to say thank you. If I weren’t a good and submissive house wife, you would have long heard the story. It’s quite unfortunate that he decided to carry out a campaign of calumny against such a person that gave up her career just to build a home with him in the sight of man and God”.
If knees could peel based on prayers, mine would have had sores because I prayed ceaselessly for my marriage to work. I thank God I am not barren, God gave me three kids”.
On the allegation of abandoning her kids, the artiste wondered why anybody would believe such a story.
She said, “why would anybody think that after carrying a baby in my womb, I would leave a two-month-old baby and run away? A woman who just had a baby scientifically has not healed enough to mess around. If you just have a baby and your pocket money has run out and nobody is providing for you, then, you have to do what you can with your talent in order for you not to starve. With the pain of child birth, when he could not provide for me and the children during the early months of nursing, I had to get up and go for a show that was booked for me by my events company.
I just wanted to put food on my table for my children. My mother was there, I had two other helps. It was a one-day show. I went and I came back, but the person who said I abandoned the baby had left us two months earlier! Yes, he had left the house like six times before the last one, I said I had tried, I told God let his will be done”.
Responding to allegation of infidelity, Muma Gee said it was her ex who was “very unfaithful” in the marriage. “He said I was seen with men, who are the men, where is the proof? I am a high chief. Why would you come out and lie against somebody who has been kind to you? There is nemesis for all of this, I knew there was a victim he wanted to impress. Last May, I got a call from a woman who told me that she and my ex were supposed to get married but he had run away to the us. The lady said she was sorry that she got involved with him.”
That was not the first time, but the fourth time somebody who was married to me would propose to four different women during my marriage. Come on! You don’t know half of what I have gone through, I only leave it to God. When I had my twins, a woman based in America, called Gina sent me a friend request on face book and I accepted. Then she sent me her naked pictures and my ex in bed. My ex had proposed to this same woman on a Valentine’s Day and April of that year…”
Meanwhile, Mr Prince Eke is yet to react to these allegations.

Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has tackled Yul Edochie over comments he made about his ex-wife, May.

The actress questioned why Yul brought up claims about their marriage but refused to explain further.

Her sharp response has added another twist to the long-running conversation around the Edochie family.

The actress reacted after Yul appeared on The Honest Bunch Podcast, where he made comments that many listeners linked to his former marriage.

During the interview, Yul hinted that certain things happened while he and May were still married and suggested those moments contributed to the decisions he later made.

The Tide Entertainment reports that Yul hints that certain things happened while he and May were still married and suggests those moments contributed to the decisions he later made.

But while saying that, Yul also hinted that there were incidents in their marriage he had chosen not to discuss publicly.

According to him, he was “too much of a man” to come online and break down over personal matters.

Reacting to the interview, Sarah, in a post on her Instagram story, pointed out what she described as irony in Yul’s words—saying he wished May well while also making statements that could create doubt in people’s minds.

According to her, if he truly meant well for his former wife, there was no reason to hint at hidden issues and leave people guessing.

“You wish her well, but you granted Podcast the power to sow doubt in people’s minds by saying she did something that led you to do what you did, but you won’t say it,” she said.

She went further to accuse Yul of being uncomfortable with May’s continued growth and public support.

“Oga, you’re just pained that she’s doing well!”
Sarah also questioned the purpose of the interview, asking if jealousy may have played a role.

Nigerian entrepreneur and socialite, Pascal Chibuike Okechukwu, also known as Cubana Chief Priest, has opened up on his fallout with singer Burna Boy, alleging that the music star publicly attacked him because of his close relationship with Davido.

Speaking during an interview on The Beat 99.9 FM on Wednesday, Cubana Chief Priest said his journey to success began from apprenticeship and years of hard work, adding that fame and financial growth often attract envy and criticism.

“Success comes with a lot of hate. I started my journey from apprenticeship and service and I learnt so much about growth and perseverance. When you start becoming successful, you understand how people treat you.

“I was on my own and Burna Boy came for me, went on his big platform and started tweeting things that are not genuine, things that are not possible, things that have not existed and the attack was straight to my wealth.

“So he wanted to make people look at my wealth, disrespect my wealth, I felt bad and that happened because of my relationship with Davido,” he said.

He further stated that Davido has consistently supported his businesses and personal projects.

“David is always there for me. He opened all my nightclubs, restaurants, everything. He always shows up to support me.

“He’s investing in clubs in Lagos, and I’m making music to prove a point that I can,” he added.
