"WE DON"T HAVE TIME FOR TONI PAYNE" - DEHINDE (9ICE'S MANAGER)

Dehinde Fajana, 9ice’s manager has refused to trade words with Toni Payne, the estranged wife of the crooner who claimed Fajana was one of the people that made her marriage to crash.

In some reports, Payne had described Fajana as the brain behind the breaking up of her marriage, saying that the manager never liked her.

Fajana, however, said he wasn’t ready to react to the allegation.

“She has freedom of speech. I am not ready to exchange any words with her. All I can say is that she knows the truth and I know the truth as well. She is free to do whatever she likes and say whatever she wants to say as well,” Fajana said.

Commenting on the news that 9ice is a new father of twins, Fajana said his artiste has been busy and is still very busy.

“I still will not say anything on the matter. As I am talking to you, we are in the studios. When we are not in the studio, we are travelling all over, performing at shows. My artiste is a busy man. That is all I can tell you,” Fajana said.

KEFEE AND RMD AT WAR OVER CAMPAIGN SONG

One time actor and commissioner of culture and tourism in Delta Stata, Richard Mofe Damijo and singer Kefee are reportedly at war over her decision to sing a campaign song for an opposition of the incumbent governor - Uduaghan. Kefee sang a campaign song for Ogboru, another gubernatorial aspirant which sources say got under the skin of the incumbent governor and consequently indicting RMD.

Kefee informs that she has been getting text messages/SMS telling her that RMD is angry at her choice of Ogboru over Uduaghan and threatening her including saying her songs have been banned in Delta state. The singer who claims she wasn’t paid for the campaign song said a friend of hers who was part of the meeting where RMD and others discussed her case warned her to be careful with how she dealt with the actor – turned politician.

The actor turned politician taking to Twitter said he was only trying to help her make money but the singer Kefee as responded saying she is never after the material gain. The text/SMS being used to threaten the singer read: RMD orders political thugs and soldiers to beat up Kefee for recording a political song for Ogboru. Should we fold our hands and let this nonsense continue?

Responding to the text messages and SMS, RMD denies it and found the claims funny .
