Following allegations that he impregnated a woman before abandoning her, Nigerian musician Wande Coal has reacted.
After being accused by his babymama, Temitope Ogunnusi of abducting
his son since 2010, Nigerian singer, Wande Coal has finally broken his
silence.
Ogunnusi had accused Wande Coal of denying him access to her son after abandoning her.
Read Wande Coal's official statement below:
I want to start by saying that the only truth that has been said so
far, is that the child is my son. Everything else is a lie. I honestly
do not want to say much because at the end of the day, this is family
and Temitope is the mother of the child but I must clarify a few things
that she has failed to mention to blogs and websites who have refused to
fact-check this story. Things that she has used to attack my character
and the reputation of my family.
Temitope has failed to mention to the public that she did not tell
me she was pregnant with my son. I didn’t even know she was pregnant.
She married another man and claimed that the child was his and she never
told me. We (my family) only knew about the child after her husband and
other people, including her aunty, found out the child looked like me.
She was returned to her family with the child. The Child was taken to
D’banj’s mother who then reached out to my mother and asked for a
paternity test to be done. This is why the paternity test was done in
2010 and not 2008. The house the Mo’Hits Crew stayed in at the time was
owned by Dbanj’s mother and as Mo’Hits grew, everyone moved to the
Maryland house. I did not leave the neighbourhood. Everyone knew where
we moved to.
After we confirmed that the child was mine, my mother visited
Temitope and everyone agreed that the child needed a cleaner and better
environment. My mother took the child, Temitope and her sister to our
house for a week. After that week, Temitope left and has not returned
since to check on the child. Not even on his birthdays. In 2011, my
mother reached out to Temitope and told her that she was disappointed in
her. Temitope promised to come visit the child. She never did.
Temitope was in a “fashion school” which she left for reasons best
known to her. Not because of the baby as she was married to someone
else. My mother paid for a full session in another fashion school to
make sure she had something to support herself. Temitope stopped
attending three months after she started. If my mother didn’t want to
see her, or allow her near the child, why would she do that for her?
The claim that she was refused entry to the house is also a lie. My
parents have not changed phone numbers, neither have they moved from
the house since the child was given to us. Why hasn’t she taken her
family to my parents’ house if she was refused entry? She has both my
father and mother’s numbers.
I have read things that blogs have stated that my mother said and I
can say confidently that my mother would never say such a thing. I must
also clarify that when I knew Temitope, she was 20 years old and the
name “Joseph” is not my son’s name. That was the name she and her
husband named him.
My parents are respectable and God fearing people, and it is
disrespectful for anyone to portray them as Temitope, or blogs and media
platforms have portrayed them.
The only reason I will not press charges is because she is the
mother of the child. Temitope, stop telling lies. You have a chance to
correct this error. No one has stopped you from seeing the child. No one
will. I am focused on my career and building a future for my family and
if you truly care about the child as you claim, you and your family
should reach out to my family.
I love my son and this is the kind of madness I work hard to
protect him from. I have said enough as these issues are family matters
and I want to keep the rest of it that way.
For the record, the woman in that picture is not my mother and I do not know who she is.
Thank you.
