Earlier in the week, the ex-wife of the Gongo Aso singer, Toni Payne blasted his former publicist, Ayeni Adekunle, the CEO of Black House Media, for being the responsible for their bitter split in 2010.
In a recent chat with Punch Newspapers, 9ice defended Ayeni, stating he wasn’t in any way responsible for their separation, rather, he only acted based on instructions given to him.
He was quoted as saying: “I saw the report that my ex-wife, Toni Payne, blamed my former publicist, Ayeni Adekunle, for our marriage failure. Ayeni did not break my marriage with Toni Payne. He was acting based on my instructions at the time. I don’t think he should be brought into this matter.”
The singer also noted that he would prefer if all parties involved, move on and embrace ‘peace, love and happiness’.
“I have since apologised to my ex-wife and the public for what transpired six years ago and I have been forgiven by all parties. I really wish this incident doesn’t linger further because I have since moved on and I beg all parties involved to do the same.”
“I am being careful and would not want to comment much on the issue of my previous marriage so that the matter would not escalate further than this. Once again, I would really appreciate it if all parties forget the past and forge ahead as there is still so much we can achieve through peace, love and happiness”, he told the newspaper.
