Nigerian media personality Daddy Freeze has opened up about his failed marriage to his ex-wife, Opeyemi.
In an interview with Chude Jideonwo, he revealed that he got married at the age of 24, while his ex was 22. He claimed he only married her because she was pregnant and wouldn’t have married her if she weren’t carrying his child.
The controversial media personality recalled how he and his ex weren’t sleeping in the same room at some point in their marriage, and were only going to church together. The former OAP spoke about the several appearances he made in his marriage and how he hadn’t seen his kids in almost ten years.
He also recalled being asked to sit at the back of the church after his messy divorce. Freeze admitted that the marriage broke him as it was two damaged people in a union, and when it ended, it cost him jobs, kept him from his children, and left him so broken that even the few jobs he got, he couldn’t execute them well.
Regarding his current marriage, Freeze said he has never raised his hand to his wife, even though he sometimes shouts.
Daddy Freeze remembered being so broke that he couldn’t even afford ten thousand naira to buy a cake for his daughter’s birthday. He said his children see him as the devil, just as half of the world sees him as the devil.
Daddy Freeze got married to Opeyemi Olarinde and their marriage was blessed with two children, unfortunately, their union didn’t last long as their marriage hit the rock in 2014. Both couples laid allegations on each other for committing adultery and domestic violence.
In a shocking revelation in the middle of 2023, Freeze revealed that he had not seen his kids in 7 years, and won’t be able to recognize them if he sees them on the street. He further stated that the only number that his children’s mother gave him to contact them was her number.
The former OAP has since moved on and his now married to Benedict Elechi. The two had a secret wedding ceremony in the UK, officiated by the controversial celebrity pastor, Pastor Tobi Adegboyega.
