Nabila Fash, the ex-wife of popular singer Oritsefemi, has threatened to sue the artist over his recent claims that she had 21 miscarriages during their marriage.
Oritsefemi made the allegations in a recent interview, where he stated that Fash suffered “21 miscarriages” and still blamed him for their inability to have children. He also accused her of sending about twenty of her friends to assault him at his house.
Reacting through her legal representative, Rockson Igelige of Rockson Legal, Fash categorically denied the claims, describing them as “concocted lies designed to damage my character and bring me to public ridicule.”
In a statement, Fash cautioned Oritsefemi against referring to her as his wife, emphasizing that their marriage was dissolved by the Lagos High Court on March 21, 2024. She also refuted the singer’s allegations about sending friends to beat him up.
“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,” the lawsuit reads in part.
“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.”
The couple married in 2017, but their relationship faced significant turmoil in 2021 amid allegations of infidelity.
Fash accused Oritsefemi of “constant cheating, verbal and emotional abuse” and claimed he had children out of wedlock with the excuse of wanting a boy child.
She also alleged that the singer physically assaulted her twice during their relationship, accusations which Oritsefemi has denied.
In 2022, Fash filed for divorce from Oritsefemi, citing the aforementioned issues as the grounds for their separation. The dissolution of their marriage was finalized in March 2024.
