Four years after her 2010 separation
from singer 9ice amidst cheating
rumours, publicist and spoken word
artist Toni Payne has finally addressed
the rumours that has followed her for
years. Toni & 9ice got married on July
17th 2008 and by January 2010, a year
and a half later, the marriage was over.
There were several reports at the time
that she was caught cheating. 9ice
actually started the cheating rumours by
making a song where he said his woman
cheated on him with a friend. People
assumed he was referring to his wife
and a rapper friend, who he later
seriously quarreled with in the media
In a post on her blog yesterday, Toni
said she never cheated on her ex-
husband. Her words below...
To those who still believe I cheated on
my ex. I am sorry to disappoint you, I
never cheated on my ex hubby. Its not
who I am, it will never be who I am.
Tell yourself 1 million times, Toni Payne
cheated, it will never make it true.
Nobody caught me in any lie, or in any
bad situation, nobody slept with anyone
he was close to. Yall need to put a full
stop to that bullshit. Its old!.
Sometimes, men want their freedom,
and the fact is you cant force them to
stay. Same goes for women. Everyone
wont have a perfect relationship, not
everyone will stay married forever, we
can only aspire to. Even those that have
been married 10 years and are busy
judging others, do you know your
tomorrow? naaaa you sure don’t so curb
it abeg. We can only pray, work, and
hope for a good union. Continue...
Anyways To address this my ex said this
or that issue. Let me just say He has
NEVER for once opened his mouth to
accuse me of cheating. He has NEVER
for once opened his mouth to accuse
me of sleeping with anyone he knows.
If awon alaiye baje wanna use our
situation then to sell their crap, how is
that my fault? The same media
controlling the remote to say I think
cheating is ok, are the same who
controlled the remote back then to say
his song was about me. Nobody ever
called him to verify or ask before
publishing. Ill admit that we both did
not handle the situation well back then,
It was the first time we would
experience such. The tension was plenty
and emotions were everywhere. We
should have sorted it privately. which
we did try to do but one rubbish
headline and emotions go buckwild
again. I don’t wanna sounding like I am
defending him, cos he is responsible for
himself, but in all fairness to him, and
because I have a conscience that serves
me well, not for once did he tweet, fb,
email, interview anything of the sort.
Our issues had absolutely nothing to do
with what the media were speculating.
People took a song he did and turned it
upside down. My crew MIXED AND
MASTERED the song. If it was about me,
why would I allow him release it. God
gave all of us sense naa.. Some just
chose not to use theirs and chose to
believe anything they read even when
the facts are there to sort through.
The only thing I have blamed him for,
was not coming out on time to refute
the claims and allowing it to escalate to
that level, he has since apologized
SEVERALLY, we have discussed it
privately as we should have from the
jump. I have accepted and moved on. I
have also apologized for losing my cool
on twitter, he has since accepted and
moved on. Really, what more is there. I
am not sure what people want from me.
Should I hate him forever? Should I tie
him to a post and flog him mercilessly?
Should I be a wicked person and deprive
him of his son? If I remain bitter and
upset, please what value will it add to
my life? Wo, my life is much more
simpler than all this. Those who know
me well, know this. Those that dont
understand me are the ones who will be
forever outside looking in, speculating
crap. I am truly tired of this topic but
since it seems to keep popping up, i felt
it is best to finally address it properly. If
anyone decides to hang on to the lie
after this, that is their own cup of tea. I
have a talk show to record, poetry to
write and a child to raise. I don talk my
own.
