Former Mo’Hits star, Wande Coal
was last week involved in a little scandal and drama revolving around his ten
year old son.
A certain woman named Temitope believed
to be his baby mama had come forward to say their son of 10 years was abducted
by the singer 8 years ago.
According to the report, she had
dropped out of secondary school at 16 after being impregnated by a then
23-year-old Wande Coal.
Although he denied that the child
was his, the report said, he later accepted him after a paternity test was
done.
According to Temitope, for eight
years, Wande and his mother had denied her the rights to see her son.
The singer, Wande Coal has
however debunked the allegations made by Temitope. He said the only truth in
her allegation is the fact that they said child is his “every other thing is a
lie”
The ”iskaba” crooner has
officially released a statement on the occurrence.
Read the lengthy statement below:
I want to start by saying that
the only truth that has been said so far, is that the child is my son.
Everything else is a lie. I honestly do not want to say much because at the end
of the day, this is family and Temitope is the mother of the child but I must
clarify a few things that she has failed to mention to blogs and websites who
have refused to fact-check this story. Things that she has used to attack my
character and the reputation of my family.
Temitope has failed to mention to
the public that she did not tell me she was pregnant with my son. I didn’t even
know she was pregnant. She married another man and claimed that the child was
his and she never told me. We (my family) only knew about the child after her
husband and other people, including her aunty, found out the child looked like
me. She was returned to her family with the child. The Child was taken to
D’banj’s mother who then reached out to my mother and asked for a paternity
test to be done. This is why the paternity test was done in 2010 and not 2008.
The house the Mo’Hits Crew stayed in at the time was owned by Dbanj’s mother
and as Mo’Hits grew, everyone moved to the Maryland house. I did not leave the
neighbourhood. Everyone knew where we moved to…
After we confirmed that the child
was mine, my mother visited Temitope and everyone agreed that the child needed
a cleaner and better environment. My mother took the child, Temitope and her
sister to our house for a week. After that week, Temitope left and has not
returned since to check on the child. Not even on his birthdays. In 2011, my
mother reached out to Temitope and told her that she was disappointed in her.
Temitope promised to come visit the child. She never did.
Temitope was in a “fashion
school” which she left for reasons best known to her. Not because of the baby
as she was married to someone else. My mother paid for a full session in
another fashion school to make sure she had something to support herself.
Temitope stopped attending three months after she started. If my mother didn’t
want to see her, or allow her near the child, why would she do that for her?
The claim that she was refused
entry to the house is also a lie. My parents have not changed phone numbers,
neither have they moved from the house since the child was given to us. Why
hasn’t she taken her family to my parents’ house if she was refused entry? She
has both my father and mother’s numbers.
I have read things that blogs
have stated that my mother said and I can say confidently that my mother would
never say such a thing. I must also clarify that when I knew Temitope, she was
20 years old and the name “Joseph” is not my son’s name. That was the name she
and her husband named him.
My parents are respectable and
God fearing people, and it is disrespectful for anyone to portray them as
Temitope, or blogs and media platforms have portrayed them.
The only reason I will not press
charges is because she is the mother of the child. Temitope, stop telling lies.
You have a chance to correct this error. No one has stopped you from seeing the
child. No one will. I am focused on my career and building a future for my
family and if you truly care about the child as you claim, you and your family
should reach out to my family.
I love my son and this is the
kind of madness I work hard to protect him from. I have said enough as these
issues are family matters and I want to keep the rest of it that way.
For the record, the woman in that
picture is not my mother and I do not know who she is.
Thank you.
