Popular Nigerian hypeman, MC Fish, has broken his silence to vehemently defend his professional reputation and his past marriage to Nollywood actress, Anita Joseph.
A Strong Rebuttal to Financial Dependency Claims
Reacting to ongoing narratives about their marriage which ended after five years, MC Fish directly addressed the widespread claim that he was financially dependent on his famous ex-wife. He did not mention Anita Joseph by name but his references were clear. He labeled anyone suggesting he lived off her as "very stupid," challenging critics to prove she single-handedly carried their financial burdens for half a decade.
The entertainer insisted he has been a working MC and hypeman for over 15 years and earns his own money legitimately. He expressed frustration at the societal disrespect often shown towards his profession, calling out people who insult hypemen online yet happily hire and pay them well for parties and events.
Detailing His Role in Anita Joseph's Growth
In a detailed counter-narrative, MC Fish claimed he played a significant supportive role in Anita Joseph's career. He stated that he actively helped her set up businesses and worked on strategies to monetize her social media platforms. He revealed he took on multiple roles for her at different times, acting as her manager, public relations officer, and protocol handler.
This, he implied, was a form of contribution that went beyond direct finances, showcasing a partnership where he invested his expertise and time into her brand's growth.
A Warning to Online Critics
MC Fish issued a stern warning to those persistently attacking him on social media. He explained that his silence through the busy month of December was deliberate. However, he cautioned that if the spread of what he calls lies continues, he will be forced to respond with specific names and detailed accounts of events.
His statement was shared via a post on the popular blog, Linda Ikeji's Instagram page, on Friday, January 3rd, 2025, sparking widespread reactions from fans and followers.
