Nollywood actress Anita Joseph has publicly addressed her estranged husband, Fisayo "MC Fish" Michael, following his recent social media revelations about their failed marriage. The public exchange, which unfolded in early January 2026, has sparked widespread reactions online.
MC Fish Breaks Silence, Claims Anita Made First Move
The drama escalated when MC Fish broke his long silence through a series of posts on his Instagram story. He directly addressed persistent rumours about his profession and financial dependence during their five-year marriage. MC Fish asserted that Anita Joseph was the one who initiated their relationship, which eventually led to marriage.
He strongly defended his career, stating he has worked as a professional Master of Ceremonies and hypeman for over 15 years. He rejected allegations that he relied on Anita's income, insisting he contributed financially throughout their union. MC Fish argued that stereotypes about his profession led people to underestimate his earnings and dedication.
Anita Joseph's Frustrated Plea for Peace
Reacting to his posts, Anita Joseph took to her own Instagram story to express her frustration. In a strongly worded message, she pleaded for an end to the public dispute, emphasizing her desire for peace and personal growth in the new year.
"I don't want to run in the mud with you," she wrote. She directly asked her ex-husband to say whatever he needed to say and then allow her to move forward with her life. Her message concluded with a firm request: "Please leave me out of whatever you are fighting... This new year is growth and all positivity for me, stop dragging me back with your mess.... Shalom!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!."
Mixed Reactions from Netizens
The online spat has generated a flood of comments from social media users, with opinions divided. Many have urged both parties to handle their issues privately.
Some users praised Anita's response for being direct yet not engaging in further mudslinging. One commenter, dear_maggy, used the situation to advise women: "Whatever you do as a female... DONT TOAST A MAN, DONT ASK A MAN OUT, DONT MAKE THE FIRST MOVE... SHALOM."
Others, like shopexclusive_withcindy, commended Anita's approach to love and moving on: "She loved when she wanted to and when it ended she moved and she never hid it." Meanwhile, some critics felt her public response was unnecessary, with user glitzlingerie advising, "Anita this isn't necessary...learn to keep quiet even when you want to spill."
This public disagreement follows a previous report by Legit.ng, which highlighted a message from a popular seer named Bright. The seer had reportedly warned the couple about a divine calling in their lives, stating they could not run away from it.
As of now, it remains to be seen if MC Fish will heed Anita Joseph's request to end the public discourse and allow both parties to focus on their separate paths in 2026.
