Fuji music icon, Adewale Ayuba, has finally reacted to a trending report that linked him to divorce and paternity troubles.
A YouTube channel, Nigerian News, had published a sensational story claiming that the Bonsue Fuji crooner allegedly carried out a secret DNA test that exposed infidelity in his marriage to Azuka Ego.
The report further alleged that Ayuba divorced his wife following the supposed discovery, igniting public speculation online.
But in a strongly worded statement issued by his management and also shared on his Instagram page, Ayuba described the report as malicious, fabricated.
He said it was aimed at tarnishing his hard-earned reputation.
The statement read: “We want to state this clearly to everyone who supports Dr Adewale Ayuba, that there is absolutely no truth–not a single iota in this cooked up story.”
According to Ayuba, he and his wife, Azuka Ego, have been happily married for more than three decades, and there has never been any question about the paternity of their children. The Fuji star expressed displeasure at what he called an attempt to malign his character and ridicule his family in public.
“I will not allow my integrity to be attacked without consequences,” Ayuba stated He confirmed that his legal team has been consulted to pursue all available remedies against the blogger behind the claims.
The singer maintained that the false story was nothing more than a cheap attempt to embarrass his family and destabilize his marriage.
In 2021, Legit.ng reported that the much-loved musician bagged a chieftaincy title as the Otunba Aare Bobaselu of Ikenneland.
A video sighted on social media captured the moment the singer was conferred with the title in an installation ceremony that had royals, among other important dignitaries, in attendance.
