In 2010 9ice released a song that
made a lot of people wrongfully drag me into a terrible situation. People who misconstrued
the song and it created a rumor...
A terrible false rumor that was
fueled by journalists and bloggers who were only after hits on their sites. Bloggers
and journalists who did not care to investigate and confirm a rumor, but chose
to print and post it anyways not caring who got hurt in the process.
I remember pleading my innocence and
that of Toni Paynes but social media people being who and how they are chose
not to listen. I remember calling 9ice on the phone CIA style to talk to him
about it and he was clearly heard admitting the song was not about myself or
Toni Payne, but social media people being who and how they are, chose not to
listen.
I remember asking 9ice to publicly
clear the air on the terrible rumor, but was shocked when my friend said he
would not because he was busy and didn’t have time for such. Again nobody
wondered why.
Fast forward 2016. six years later
and I was surprised when i heard that 9ice has finally come out to say i never
slept with his wife and the song was not about me and even apologized on top.
That he has finally come out to say the truth about the issue that cast a
negative shadow over my head and that of his ex wife for six years.
All I can do is smile because I know
me better than anybody out there who insulted me over the matter. I said it
then and i say it now, Michael Ugochukwu Stephens will never sleep with his friends’
wife. Families and husbands you can now relax. Your daughters and wives
are safe around me hahahahaha!!
To 9ice, bro you left it a bit too
late. You had your chance to clear this matter up 6 years ago when it really
mattered but you did not take it. I do not know why and exactly what it was
that made you keep quiet all that while. I did my best to clear my name without
you and have moved on since.
Anyways I accept your apology and
thank God we are all alive.
To bloggers and journalists: You
will be who and how you are, but the best and most successful ones amongst you
will be the ones who actually get professional about with their work and try to
investigate stories before putting it out there. I really hope you all realize it’s
not all about the hits. Do not lose your humanity all because you want to be
the first to break news. On a lighter note, if you want to break news, kindly
break the news that my new song ft Olamide titled Seyi Shay has drop on cloud
9music and mtn plus since 5th February 2016.
I wish you all the best and I
appreciate everybody who has been there for me. God bless us all, and I had
learnt how to live my life
