Read Below;



In 2010 9ice released a song that made a lot of
people wrongfully drag me into a terrible situation.
People who miscontrued the song and it created a
rumour.

A terrible false rumour that was fueled by journalists
and bloggers who were only after hits on their sites.
Bloggers and journalists who did not care to
investigate and confirm a rumour, but chose to print
and post it anyways not caring who got hurt in the
process.

I remember pleading my innocence and that of Toni
Paynes but social media people being who and how
they are,chose not to listen.

I remember calling 9ice on the phone CIA style to
talk to him about it and he was clearly heard
admitting the song was not about myself or Toni
Payne, but social media people being who and how
they are, chose not to listen.

I remember asking 9ice to publicly clear the air on
the terrible rumour,but was shocked when my friend
said he would not because he was busy and didn’t
have time for such. Again nobody wondered why.


Fast forward 2016. six years later and I was surprised
when i heard that 9ice has finally come out to say i
never slept with his wife and the song was not about
me and even apologised on top. That he has finally
come out to say the truth about the issue that cast a
negative shadow over my head and that of his ex wife
for six years.

All i can do is smile because I know me better than
anybody out there who insulted me over the matter.
I said it then and i say it now, Michael Ugochukwu
Stephens will never sleep with his friend’s wife.

Families and husbands you can now relax. Your
daughters and wives are safe around me
hahahahaha!!

To 9ice, bro you left it a bit too late. You had your
chance to clear this matter up 6 years ago when it
really mattered but you did not take it. I do not know
why and exactly what it was that made you keep quiet
all that while. I did my best to clear my name without
you and moved have moved on since.

Anyways I accept your apology and thank God we are
all alive.

To bloggers and journalists: You will be who and how
you are,but the best and most successful ones
amongst you will be the ones who actually get
professional about with their work and try to
investigate stories before putting it out there

. I really
hope you all realise its not all about the hits. Do not
lose your humanity all because you want to be the
first to break news.

On a lighter note,if you want to break news,kindly
break the news that my new song ft Olamide titled
Seyi Shay will drop on cloud 9music and mtn plus
tomorrow 5th February 2016.

I wish you all the best and I appreciate everybody
who has been there for me.God bless us all.
