Nigerian actress, Yvonne Jegede has made revelations about her estranged husband and rapper, Olakunle Fawole aka Abounce, whom she accused of not being present in their son’s life.
In a chat with fellow actress Mercy Johnson during a recent episode of her cooking show, Yvonne claimed Olakunle has refused to visit or support their son, Xavier who celebrated his fourth birthday last month.
Speaking on her failed marriage, the actress said: “First I was scared, marriage of not up to two years crashed, but I’m glad I left because if I had stayed back for what people will say, I will not be happy to today.”
When Mercy asked if the estranged couple still communicate with each other, Yvonne said: “Olakunle and I don’t talk now, he doesn’t call or talk to his son. It is funny how we once had a solid friendship asides the marriage but i don’t know it all went off the radar.
“The first time he publicly accepted the son when he was 5months old was when I gave him an ultimatum that i will remove his surname once the boy turns 5. Thankfully, I had given him a compound name, Xavier Jegede Fawole, and I threatened that I will remove the Fawole and leave just the Jegede since I am soleley raising him up.
