Finally Mercy Aigbe clarifies Marriage Controversy

27 Jan Finally Mercy Aigbe clarifies Marriage Controversy

Yoruba actress, Mercy Aigbe, has finally spoken about her new marriage to the famous Yoruba movie marketer and film-maker, Adeoti Kazim, which has sparked several reactions.

The 44-year-old actress on Wednesday, through a message she sent to a TVC talk show host, Morayo Afolabi-Brown, debunked claims that her new husband was a friend of her ex-husband, Lanre Gentry.

The actress wedded Mr Gentry in 2013 and divorced him in 2017.

The union produced a son, Juwon.

While Mrs Aigbe secretly wedded Mr Kazim recently, Mr Gentry, on the other hand, had a glamorous marriage in Lagos in September 2021.

Ms Afolabi-Brown, who anchors a popular talk show known as ‘Your View’, on Wednesday discussed the actress’ new marriage on her show.

During the show, she announced that the actress tried calling in on the show but the poor network signals made it impossible for her to do so.

Mrs Aigbe would later reportedly send a text message to the talk show host which was read live.

“I just want to clear the impression, Adekaz isn’t Lanre Gentry’s friend,” the actress’ text message read.

That was the first time Mrs Aigbe would be speaking about her controversial marriage.

While this is Mrs Aigbe’s third shot at marriage, it is Mr Kazim’s second marriage.

Mr Kazim is a father-of-four while his first wife, Funsho, who lives in Minnesota, U.S., is a notable fashion designer and owner of Asiwaju Couture.

On the other hand, inundated by the goodwill and empathy from Nigerians, Ms Kazim made a cryptic post that suggested that all was not well between her and her husband.

It read, “Losing someone who doesn’t respect or appreciate you is again, not a loss. Thank you all”.
