As tongues continue to wag on the divorces that the entertainment industry occasionally witnesses, former Manager of GONGO A SO singer, 9ice, has brought back the memory of the separation of the artiste and his ex, Toni Payne.
The latest separation making news is that of star actor Bolanle Ninalowo and his wife, Bunmi.
According to Cabasa, Payne had the intention to reunite with him.
9ice , however, appeared bent on sustaining the separation.
Cabasa said he made an attempt to achieve the reunion but this, he said, led to 9ice parting with him.
In an interview with Chude Jideonwo, the producer whose real name is Olumide Ogunade said it was the reason he retained Payne as his artists’ manager in spite of the soured relationship with 9ice.
Payne managed the artists under Cabasa’s Coded Tunes Record, a label that housed her estranged husband at the time and rapper, Olamide.
He said, “I brought Payne in because I needed to keep Payne and Zion close to 9ice. I had my networks. Mr. Kupuloyi was my publicist. If I need anyone to move my artists around, I can find someone but I saw Payne and I noticed she wanted a reconciliation.
“I felt if she takes Zion abroad, 9ice may never see his son.”
