My wife sent 20 of her friends to beat me up, Oritsefemi claims
Oritsefemi, the Nigerian singer, has revealed what transpired between him and Nabila Fash, his estranged wife.
The couple tied the knot in 2017. In 2021, their marriage faced a crisis over allegations of infidelity.
Fash later accused the singer of “constant cheating, verbal and emotional abuse”.
She claimed Oritsefemi has children out of wedlock with the excuse of wanting a boy child.
She also alleged that the singer physically assaulted her twice in their relationship.
The ‘Igbeyawo’ hitmaker, however, denied the allegations.
In a recent interview with Chude Jideonwo, Oritsefemi shared his opinion on the conflict in their marriage.
The 39-year-old singer claimed Fash had “21 miscarriages” but still held him responsible for their inability to have children.
Oritsefemi also alleged that she sent about twenty of her friends to beat him up in his house.
“Nabila had 21 miscarriages and she still dey tell me Oritsefemi say I no fit impregnate am,” he said in pidgin English.
“My wife asked her friends to come and beat me up in my house. I said, ‘Look at me o; a whole me, lion na him women dey pursue’.
“Dem reach like 20. Dem beat me o and no be say na lie.”
In 2022, Fash disclosed that she filed for divorce from Oritsefemi.
“It became important for my sanity and mental health to take a decision that wasn’t easy. But he isn’t accepting,” she said.
