Nigerian singer Oritsefemi says his ex-wife Nabila Fash had 21 miscarriages and still blamed him for their inability to have children in their marriage.

The “Mercies of the Lord” coroner said this in an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, in which he opened up about the travails in his union with Fash.

“Nabila had, e go reach 21, miscarriages and she still dey tell me Oritsefemi say I no fit impregnate am,” Oritsefemi said in pidgin.

Narrating the circumstances that led to their marriage crash in 2022, Oritsefemi also alleged that about 20 of his ex-wife’s friends came to beat him up in the house.

“My wife asked her friends to come and beat me up in my house. Look at a whole me lion, na im woman dey pursue. Dem reaches like 20 o, dem beat me o, no be say na lie o,” he stated.

Oritsefemi and Fash tied the knot in 2017. In 2022, his ex-wife revealed she filed for divorce “for my sanity and mental health” after she accused him of infidelity.

Fash, in an interview with media personality Daddy Freeze, accused Oritsefemi of having children with other women and abusing her verbally and emotionally.

She acknowledged that the singer had two daughters from two different women before their union but claimed the singer had other children while they were married. 

“I thought it was my happy ending because I love him; we had issues having our own biological kids. I was a loving mother of two wonderful girls from two different women I didn’t know, and he felt he was just doing me a favour. He had kids outside without my knowledge,” Nabila had said.

However, Oritsefemi denied the allegations.
