Veteran Nigerian singer John Odafe Asiemo, aka Daddy Showkey, has spoken up about his musical career.
He says he discovered his musical skill while working at a motor park.
The ‘Ghetto Soldier’ singer revealed this on a recent episode of ‘The Honest Bunch’ podcast.
“I was working in the motor park as a ticketer when someone told me I have a good voice and that I should consider becoming a musician,” he recalled.“At first, I was sceptical because I didn’t know how to sing but when I attempted it, I discovered that everyone liked it so that was how I became a musician.”
The singer’s statement reads as follows:
“Nabila had 21 miscarriages, yet she still tells me, Oritsefemi, that I can’t impregnate her. My wife asked her friends to come and beat me up in my house. I said, ‘Look at me, lion, women they pursue’. They are up to 20, and they beat me, and I’m not lying.”
Nabila’s attorney, Rockson Igelige from Rockson Legal, released a statement refuting the allegations made by the singer’s ex-wife.
Oritsefemi has a deadline of fourteen days to withdraw the defamatory statements and threats mentioned in the cease and desist notice he received.
Failure to do so will result in legal action being taken against him, including criminal charges and a civil claim.
It read;
“We write to you to cease further defamation of and threats to our client. You know for a fact that the above-quoted statements, amongst others, that you made during the said interview are all concocted lies designed to disparage, tarnish, and damage our client’s character and to bring her to public ridicule and hostility.
“This is so as our client did not at any time send any of her friends to beat you up nor had 21 miscarriages during her now judicially dissolved marriage to you. Our client takes exception to your defamatory aspersions designed to taint and destroy her reputation.
“We, therefore, demand that you cease defamatory statements against our client. We further demand that you immediately stop referring to our client as your wife and stop threatening anyone around her. Our client sued you for divorce (the dissolution of your marriage), and the High Court of Lagos State judicially dissolved the marriage on 21st March 2024.”
