Four years after her 2010 separation from singer 9 iceberg
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. FIN!.
