Ace actress Mercy Aigbe’s ex-husband, Olanrewaju Gentry, has finally reacted to the scandal involving his ex-wife and Adeoti.
In an interview with Saturday Beats, Gentry said Kazim’s first wife, Funsho, should be blamed for her marriage crisis and not Mercy.
According to him, women need to be careful with friends they bring close to their personal spaces. He blamed Funsho for introducing Mercy to Kazim.
Gentry said, “I do not blame Mercy. The blame should be on Adeoti’s first wife for bringing Mercy into her family. People like Funso who love to follow actresses (about) in a bid to make friends with them need to be very careful.
“It is dangerous to bring a person whom you do not know into your home simply because the person is a celebrity. In all honesty, Funso and Mercy were friends.
“She (Funso) was the one who invited Mercy and I to her husband’s 40th birthday celebration some years back. Mercy Aigbe knows within herself that what she did to Funso and her family is very bad.
“It was Mercy that told me her friend was organizing a surprise birthday for her husband and we were invited. Unlike what many are saying, my son, Olanrewaju, was not five months old at the time, he was over a year old.
“We attended the event, and that was the first time I met Adeoti and his wife. Funso, who was Mercy’s friend at the time, introduced Adeoti to Mercy and I.
“After that, Adeoti used to come to my home, office and hotel. Mercy later told me they were working together and that he was her marketer. I was 100 per cent sure that Mercy and Adeoti were seeing (dating) each other, and I used to tell her that what she was doing was very bad.
“I am a socialite, and I definitely know when something (intimate) is going on between a man and a woman. I really don’t want to be involved in this issue because I have remarried, and I respect my (new) wife.
“People should learn to handle their homes properly and stay away from strange friends.”
He also cleared the paternity issues surrounding his son, Juwon, who was a product of his marriage to Mercy Aigbe.
Gentry claimed that contrary to the paternity rumour, he is the father of Juwon. He revealed the similarities between his son, Juwon and his half sister, who he produced in his new marriage.
He also claimed that Juwon and his new baby share the same birthmark. He said, “… We now have a baby girl and she looks very much like Olajuwon, whom some have claimed may not be my biological son.
“A man who was sneaking to have sexual intercourse with another man’s wife cannot have the guts to request for a DNA test.
“Children born in my family have a certain birthmark, and Juwon and my daughter have it.”
