Nigerian singer Harrysong has replied to his ex-wife, Alexer Peres, over their custody battle.
Newsunplug reported that Alexer had announced her decision to temporarily give up custody of their two children, aged four and three, in an emotional video. She described the move as the hardest decision of her life, citing years of pressure following her separation from the singer.
Alexer accused her ex-husband of constant harassment and interference, alleging that he frequently showed up at her home unannounced. She also raised concerns about the children living with domestic staff, alleging that their father is rarely around.
Responding to her via his Instagram story, Harrysong said he has chosen to remain silent to protect the mother of his child and, most importantly, their kids, because what’s said online lives forever.
Harrysong noted that he had previously made the mistake of speaking from emotion and had learnt the hard way. He made it clear that he never said his ex-wife couldn’t have access to their kids, and that their being in his custody is a decision known to him
The singer stated that he is an active and present father and has continued to provide for them, even while they were in their care. He said the narrative about him is deeply hurtful and risks damaging the very image and career that supports their children.
“I’ve chosen restraint to protect the mother of my children and, most importantly, our kids because what’s said online lives forever.
I previously made the mistake of speaking from emotion and learnt the hard way.
I never said she couldn’t have access to them.
Them been in my custody is a decision made for reasons u can’t put out on the internet.
I’ve remained active, present father and have continued to provide for our children, even while they were in her care.
The current narrative online is deeply hurtful and risks damaging the very image and career that supports our children. Is it worth it?
I won’t engage in public back-and-forth that could one day harm them.
My focus remains their well-being”.
