Nollywood actress and filmmaker Mercy Aigbe Adeoti has addressed negative comments about her marriage to Kazim Adeoti.
In an interview with her colleague Bimpe Akintunde for her talk show, Iriri Mi, she revealed how she feels anytime people say she turned her husband, a father of four, to dense. The mother of two made it known that their negative comments were just noise as she questioned how their lives were faring.
Aigbe noted how people only talk when they are doing something good or are well known. She stated that one has to be at the top to be the topic of their conversation.
That’s just noise. Look close at those talking. How is their life? Definitely, people talk, and it’s when people do something good that they talk. If you’re not known, you can’t be their topic. You have to be at the top to be a topic. When I was young, I never thought my life would turn out this way. “
Elsewhere in the interview, Aigbe revealed that her family were against her remarriage, especially due to her age. However, she didn’t bow to them because she knew what she wanted. Mercy said she is the kind of person who loves to have a crown on her head and loves to be married.
“I love love, actually.
What you said now, a lot of people do ask me, even some family members. They would be like, I’m close to 50 years old; what am I looking for? But I believe everybody knows what they want. What you want might be different from mine. I know what I saw, and I know what I wanted. I am the kind of person who loves to have a crown (husband) on my head and loves to be married. Maybe, if I’m still in my baby’s daddy’s house, I wouldn’t be known as Mercy Aigbe”.
Recall that Mercy Aigbe made headlines in 2022 when she finally came clean about her relationship with married Marketer, Kazim Adeoti, who shares four kids with his first wife. Despite the heavy criticisms and backlash the couple received, their love seems to wax stronger daily.
The movie star had surprised many last year when she converted to Islam following her marriage and had given herself a Muslim name, Hajia Minnah.
To solidify her conversion to Islam, Mercy went to Hajj with her husband, Kazim Adeoti in June, alongside Kemi Afolabi. Following her trip to the Holy Land, Mercy Aigbe officially became a Hajia.
In an interview, Aigbe opened up on her marriage to Kazim Adeoti, which she gushed over. She revealed that her love for her husband made her change her decision to become a Muslim, stating that love came calling for her and she loved what they shared as friends. Mercy revealed that she felt it in her guts that Kazim was the right person to be with and pointed out how no woman would have gone through what she went through.
