My private life is my business

Nollywood actor IK Ogbonna has said that his private life is his business and thus owes no one an explanation about his divorce.

IK Ogbonna and his ex-wife, Sonia Morales got divorced a few years after their marriage in 2015. The former couple was blessed with a son. However, the news of their marriage crash started circulating in 2018 and by August 2019, Sonia confirmed the union was over. Following his long silence over his divorce from his ex-wife, IK Ogbonna told The PUNCH in an interview that his marriage and divorce are his private life and doesn’t see why he should speak publicly about it. In his words; “I have never said the cause of my separation, it has been all speculation and I would like the public to hold on to those speculations if they choose to do so. “My private life doesn’t necessarily concern the world but, what I choose the world to know is what I make the public know about me. Things that don’t work out don’t mean I and the person would fall apart, or I come on social media and start saying these are the reasons why it did not work. It didn’t work but we are still friends.”

In a recent interview, Olamide revealed that before his hit song ‘Eniduro’ propelled him into the limelight, he face embarrassment at the hands of a senior artist who sent him to get food. Baddo noted that it occurred during his time working with his boss and producer, ID Cabasa, many years ago, as reported by The Nation. In his words; “I was in the studio when this senior artist came in to record a song, and he said he was hungry. Who else will he send to buy food if not me, who was the youngest in the studio? The money he gave me was not enough for his meal, so I decided to add my own money. I even used my money to pay for transportation. When I got back to the studio with the food, guess what this guy said to me? “Cabasa, tell this your boy to give me my change. If he wants money, he should tell me, and I will give it to him. He should not use a trick to steal my money. I almost got angry, but one look from ID Cabasa calmed me down. Today, the guy is one of my biggest fans, and he is planning to do a song with me.”
