MC Fish was not violent towards his ex-wife — new lover Gbemi clears the air

Gbemi, the new partner of hypeman Fisayo Olagunju, aka MC Fish, has denied claims that he was violent towards his former wife, actress Anita Joseph, during their marriage.

The allegation resurfaced after Anita’s sister, Sandra, claimed that MC Fish allegedly abused the actress, including in an incident where he reportedly pushed her while she was pregnant, causing her to fall and lose their unborn child.

Speaking alongside MC Fish on Area FM, Gbemi said she saw the allegation online and confronted him about it. She explained that the claim concerned her because she had experienced domestic violence in a previous relationship.

“Like my first relationship, I went through DV. Hmm, bitter one, do you understand? So don’t make DV code abeg, affliction shall not rise again twice,” she said.

Gbemi said MC Fish denied the allegation, after which she checked his phone to satisfy herself that he was telling the truth.

According to her, she found nothing to support the claim and concluded that it was untrue.

“She is lying, and it wasn’t true. Hmm, it wasn’t true,” she said.

She added that if the allegation had been true, she would have demanded that MC Fish publicly apologise before entering a relationship with him.

“I promise that if it were true, I would have made him do a public apology before I even got into a relationship with him because the kind of person that I represent, I’m a very sisterhood person,” she said.

Gbemi also described her relationship with MC Fish as different, saying they are committed to resolving disagreements rather than breaking up.

“This relationship is quite different from anything that any Nigerian has seen because we are going to make it work,” she said.

She added that they would seek counselling or therapy whenever they encounter problems.

“If there is an irritating attitude, we are going to work on it; we are going to get counselling; we are going to get therapy,” she said.
