MC Fish, the former husband of Nollywood actress Anita Joseph, has opened up about their failed marriage, stating he does not regret marrying her at 27. In an interview with Chude Jideonwo, he described feeling happy and respected during the early stages of the relationship, saying he saw all the qualities he desired in a marriage at the time. He emphasized that honesty must be mutual in any relationship, urging couples to be as transparent as possible, no matter how difficult. "If you love someone and care for the person, you shouldn't be afraid to do whatever you want with the person," he said, adding that he has always believed in optimism.
MC Fish admitted that both he and Joseph were unfaithful during the marriage, with each having multiple partners. He claimed Joseph cheated on him with several men, though he did not name them, and acknowledged he was not faithful either. This comes after Joseph confirmed the end of their five-year union in December, describing it as a period of unexpected trials and personal growth. She spoke of enduring deep pain, including two pregnancy losses — a stillbirth and a miscarriage — as well as domestic violence.
Photos and videos of MC Fish with his new girlfriend went viral earlier this year, sparking online criticism. He responded by saying society treats men unfairly when they move on, unlike women who are celebrated for finding happiness. He also made a pointed remark, noting that despite all allegations against him, no one has claimed he is bad in bed. His new partner, Gbemso, stated she did not break up the marriage, asserting she met him when he was already single and their relationship began thereafter.
MC Fish admits he was unfaithful in his marriage yet frames himself as a victim of double standards when criticized for dating again. He demands compassion for his choices while offering no accountability for the infidelity he freely admits. The same man who calls for total honesty in relationships justifies his actions by shifting blame to societal perceptions. His refusal to name the men he accuses Anita Joseph of cheating with also leaves his claims unverified and one-sided.
