Nigerian singer Paul Okoye has vowed to take legal action against a lady for making defamatory statement about him and his previous marriage.
The lady, in a tweet, had claimed that the singer had cheated on his ex-wife, Anita Okoye, with his housemaid. She alleged that he raped/coerced their domestic help.
“Raped/coerced their domestic help, she’s the help. How could she say no? Plus, she was most likely way younger”.
Reacting to her tweet, Paul expressed gratitude to those who brought it to his attention, as he vowed to pursue her. He said he will use the lady as a scapegoat to set an example.
“I hardly reply!!! But you see this one!!!
@chubbiedivah, if you like, go private, leave X !!
I will find you; I will use every necessary means, power, resource, and money. You will face the law; I will use you as an example. (scapegoat )… Your only way out is to leave the surface of this Earth and relocate to space. To everyone who brought my attention to her tweet.
Thank you”.
During Paul’s messy divorce from his ex-wife, Anita, in her court filings, Anita accused Paul of sleeping with their housemaid, Florence. She claimed he was inviting Florence to hotels to carry out their illicit affairs.
The court documents revealed that Paul had thrown Anita and her sister out of the house when they discovered his affair with his housemaid. He also boasted that the reason for his actions was to ensure that Anita’s wings were clipped and that she had no one else to lean on.
Recall that Anita filed for divorce in 2022 on the grounds of cheating, separation, being an absentee father, fraud, and difficult experiences. A year after she filed for divorce, an Abuja High Court sitting in Maitama granted Anita and Paul Okoye a divorce, with a monthly settlement of $20,000 and a number of his mansions.
Paul had swiftly moved on with model, Ivy Ifeoma who he got married to in May of this year, and welcomed a child with.
The former couple kept things amicable despite their divorce until in August, when they unfollowed each other after Paul bought a second mansion in the US, presumably for his then pregnant wife.
