Yul Edochie with his two wives

Popular actor, Yul Edochie has finally opened up on why he married a second wife.

The actor trended on several social media platforms from late April through the most parts of May after announcing a second wife, Judy Austin and son, Star.

He explained in a video that he realised he loved his new wife though he had always been a believer of an old cliché that says, ‘a man cannot love two women at the same time’.

Explaining the reason behind his decision, the movie star said: “Why I took my decision of marrying a second wife. So, I decided to say why today. I used to hear people say a man cannot love two women at the same time.

“I’ve heard it a couple of time and I’m one of those people who believed it before. And I know a lot of people still believe it as well that a man cannot love two women.

“I used to believe it as well until it happened to me. I realised that, “Never say never”. No matter how old you are in this world. We are all young, we’re still learning. Things can happen, you learn certain things.

“At this point in my life, this is my opinion. I’m entitled to my opinion. My opinion may be wrong to you but it’s my opinion.”

Yul insisted meeting Judy Austin dispelled the old cliché as he became fully convinced that a man could actually love two women at the same time especially as he couldn’t resist the urge of keeping her after making a lot of impact in his life.

He continued: “At this point in my life, at this stage, I think it’s possible for a man to actually love two women. For me I think it’s possible because two women can be in your life and then they bring two different things to the table.

“They reason in different ways they contribute differently to your life. And you just realize that that just the way it is.

“Someone comes into your life and the person makes so much impact in your life and you just don’t want to let this person go or you just can’t let this person go.

Though he admitted to the fact that it was wrong to have let a single lady get so close to him as a married man but argued such things happen on a daily basis.

He further praised his two wives, describing them as “very wonderful women” in their own respective rights, who bring different things to the table.

The father of five said: “I know a lot of you would say as a married man, why would you allow another woman to come into your life and all that? Yes, you can say it’s wrong. It’s wrong, I take the blame for that. You can say it’s wrong. But let’s be honest, these things happen. It happened to me and then I realised that I just couldn’t let this wonderful woman leave my life.

“Make no mistakes about it, these are very wonderful women in their own respective rights. They bring different things to the table. Yes, you can actually love two women at the same time.

“I thought it was not possible but now I know it’s possible. You can actually love two women because two women can be in your life for two different reasons and they bring different things to the table.

“And then you realise than this person is important in your life and this other person is important in your life and you just can’t let any one of them go.

“That’s just the tip of it. I have many more reasons but for now, this is one of them. This is actually the main one. I may decide to bring out more but this is it; a man can actually love two women.

“Someone can come into your life. Yes, you may say the circumstances were wrong and all that. But these things happen. And then you realise you can’t just let this person go. This person has had a lot of impact in your life. You just don’t want this person to go and you try to see how you can make it all work. So, this is just a tip of it.

Appreciated all and sundry for their concern since the news hit the public space, the 40-year-old actor added: “A big thank you to everyone who’s concerned about me, I’m fine. My family is good, we’re working out things.

“Big thank you to the fans, friends all over the world who have shown so much concern about me, about everything.”

Controversial singer Portable apologises to Saheed Osupa over copyright dispute

Controversial hip-hop artist, Portable, has publicly apologised to Fuji musician, King Saheed Osupa, for referring to him as “big for nothing.” The apology comes after Portable faced widespread criticism for his disrespectful remarks towards the Fuji legend.

The dispute began when Portable used a line from King Saheed’s song in one of his tracks, leading to allegations of copyright infringement. Osupa’s distribution team reportedly filed a complaint, resulting in the removal of Portable’s song from major streaming platforms, including Apple Music and Spotify.

In a video shared on his Instagram page, Portable expressed regret for his earlier outburst, attributing his actions to his temperament. He appealed to his fans and King Saheed Osupa for forgiveness, acknowledging the role of financial disputes in the conflict.

“My fans, I’m a hot-tempered person. I have said my mind, and it has ended. My fans, please forgive me. King Saheed Osupa, Oba Orin, please don’t be offended. It’s money that causes fights. It’s money that destroys relationships between siblings and even between father and son. It was music money that caused our fight because it was when I went to collect money for the song that I was told it had been removed from streaming platforms. Please, my daddy, forgive me and accept me as your child,” Portable pleaded.

Nigerian music star Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, has promised to purchase a house for his father, Fatai Odunsi, and cover his medical expenses.

This comes just days after Odunsi publicly accused Asake of abandoning him since his health started declining in 2022.

Odunsi, who has been battling stroke, alleged that despite Asake’s fame and fortune, he had not been financially supportive.

However, in a new video released on Sunday, Odunsi confirmed that his son has now reached out to him.

Speaking in Yoruba, he expressed pride in Asake and showered him with prayers.

He added that he called out Asake because it had been a long time since he saw him.

Odunsi said: “His mother ought to ask him when last he saw me. That was what got me angry, but we have sorted all the problems. We are no longer fighting.”

He further revealed that Asake has instructed real estate agents to find him a new home, saying “Asake said he will do everything that I want. We have settled, no more problems. They are now looking for a new house that he will buy for me. He has settled everything.”

Additionally, Odunsi confirmed that Asake has agreed to take full responsibility for his 11-year-old daughter, Zeenat.

Odunsi said: “He has never denied his child, but he has now promised to take full responsibility for the child.”

He also mentioned that he would be going to the hospital the next day, as Asake had sent him all the necessary funds for his treatment.

Asake’s family demands N50m house for ailing father

The family of the popular Nigerian Afrobeat singer, Ahmed Ololade, also known as Asake, has asked him to take responsibility for his ailing father, Fatai Odunsi, and alleged daughter, Zeenat.

In a viral video, Odunsi had accused Asake of abandonment, saying that he has been battling a stroke since 2022.

The aged man alleged that the singer continued to ignore his calls despite his failing health. He also sought financial assistance from the public.

He said: “I am the father to Asake who is singing. The last time I saw him was when this thing happened to me on March 29, 2022.

“He does not pick up my calls anytime I call him. Now I have become tired. I have been looking for this my brother and I recently met with him.”

Reacting to the controversy, Asake took to social media on Friday and dropped a cryptic message.

“You can’t please everyone, you can’t please the world. But anything you are doing, just do it for God.

“My own father wants to cajole me, and I have sent so much money to him. I have struggled for so many years, but they want to make me get tired of life,” Asake said while singing in Yoruba.

On Saturday, the situation escalated when Odunsi and his family revealed additional details about their grievances with the singer.

In a viral video, the family, speaking through a female representative, claimed Asake abandoned his alleged 11-year-old daughter, Zeenat and made specific demands from him.

The family said: “I’m begging you, Asake; you’ll grow old one day, so please take care of your father. Asake needs to come and do what is required. Even if Nigerians contributed N10 billion to Mr Odunsi, Asake’s N1 million would make him happier than he is today. The Quran says we will reap whatever we sow in this life. Ololade, Mr Money, we want you to continue growing, and God will keep blessing you. May God also help you to support your father.

“I won’t go into your mother’s issue, but you must do the right thing and care for your father. In Isale Eko, you can find a house worth N40 million or N50 million. You could buy one for your father so he can live off the rent if you don’t want to provide for him directly.

“If you don’t want to take care of him, at least buy a house worth N50 million in his name, and he will survive on the rent. He’s not asking for much.

“Also, if you are in doubt about Zeenat, the mother has agreed to a DNA test.”

The former YBNL Nation and Empire Distribution signee is yet to respond to the family’s latest claims.
