Popular actress, Mercy Aigbe, has rubbished insinuations
that she was the spoke that crashed the wheel of her new husband, Kazeem
Adeoti, aka Adekaz’s marriage to his first wife, Funsho.
A photo shared by her former husband, Lanre Gentry, which
went viral on the Internet showed the both of them with Adekaz and Funsho at a
party.
However, in a terse message, Aigbe
stated that Gentry and Adeoti were never friends.
She said, “They were never family friends as speculated by
Funsho and what is been peddled on social media. The picture (in question) was
taken in 2013 during Adekaz’s fortieth birthday, and I was still married to
Gentry then. I attended the event with my then husband. My husband is a Muslim
and he is allowed to have more than one wife. I did not break his marriage to
Funsho.”
Meanwhile, Angela Tolulade, a United States of America-based
woman, who claimed to be a family friend to the Adeotis told Saturday Beats
that Adekaz and Funsho were not on good terms before Aigbe came into the
picture. She said, “Adekaz and Funsho got married 20 years ago in the US. A
licensed mortgage broker, Adekaz relocated to Nigeria to start a movie
production business.
“He came to Nigeria with Funsho, who later went back to the
US, saying she did not want to stay in Nigeria. The marriage was on until
Funsho refused to come over and her husband kept pushing for her to be around.
It is important to note that this matter had dragged on for almost two years.
He (Adekaz) told her (Funsho) point blank that he would marry another wife if
she did not return as agreed.”
Tolulade also insisted that Adekaz never shirked his
responsibility to their three children. She said, “Till date, Adekaz still
carries out his duties as a father. He pays the school fees of the children and
foots their other bills. Funsho cannot say he neglected her because she was the
one adamant about not returning to Nigeria.”
Speaking further, the family friend stated that despite
pressure from her husband, Funsho refused to relocate to Nigeria. She added,
“It is on record that Funsho bluntly told Adekaz that she would not return to
Nigeria because she can’t live in Nigeria anymore. She told him that if he
chooses to marry another wife in Nigeria, he can go ahead but once he does
that, it would be over between them.
“She gave her husband an ultimatum to choose between coming
back to the US or staying back in Nigeria, marry another wife and everyone
would go their separate ways. Funsho cannot deny not knowing that her husband
was taking another wife as she was fully informed.
“If Funsho wanted her marriage to work, she would have
returned many years ago. But she stayed put in Minnesota. Their first child is
in a private university in the US, and Adekaz pays her fees. Their other kids
are also not abandoned. Meanwhile, Adekaz is a Muslim and he has the right to
marry more than one wife.”
