Fuji music legend Adewale Ayuba has broken his silence following reports linking him to a messy divorce and paternity controversy.
The singer, who has been married to Azuka Ego for over 30 years, strongly refuted the claims, describing them as entirely false and malicious.
The allegations, published by a blogger on a YouTube channel called Nigerian News, claimed that Ayuba conducted a secret DNA test that revealed infidelity in his marriage, prompting a supposed divorce.
The report ignited widespread speculation online, drawing reactions from fans and the public.

In an official statement shared by his management and on his Instagram page, Ayuba dismissed the story as fabricated.
He said the claims were aimed at damaging his reputation and humiliating his family.
The statement read in part:
“Our attention has been drawn to a baseless and malicious story circulating online, published by a faceless blogger, concerning Dr Adewale Ayuba’s family. This story makes outrageous claims about an alleged divorce from Dr Ayuba’s wife, Mrs. Azuka Ego Saliu Oke Ola (Nee Kwento), and a completely unfounded scandal regarding the paternity of their children.
”We want to state this clearly and categorically to everyone who supports Dr Adewale Ayuba: There is absolutely no truth—not a single iota—in this cooked-up story. Dr Adewale Ayuba and his wife, Mrs. Azuka Ego, are happily married, and their wonderful children are doing very well. The issue of paternity over their children has never, ever arisen in their marriage.
“Furthermore, this reckless blogger stated their marriage only lasted one year. For the record, they have been happily married for well over thirty years! This fundamental error alone exposes the story as a complete fabrication.
“This is nothing more than a cheap, despicable attempt to embarrass Dr Ayuba’s family, malign his character, and bring his united family to public ridicule. We are consulting with our lawyers to pursue all available legal remedies against this irresponsible individual. We will not allow Dr Adewale Ayuba’s integrity to be attacked without consequences.”
