Nigerian singer Paul Okoye has reacted strongly to social media allegations regarding his past marriage, promising to take legal action against a woman who claimed he cheated on his ex-wife, Anita Okoye, with their housemaid. The controversial tweet also accused him of coercing the domestic worker.
Paul, addressing the tweet publicly, expressed gratitude to those who flagged the post to him and vowed to pursue the woman in question. He warned that she would be used as an example, emphasizing his readiness to employ all available resources to address the matter legally.
The allegations stirred memories of Paul’s previous divorce from Anita, who had cited cheating, separation, absenteeism, and fraud in her 2022 court filings. According to court documents, Anita accused Paul of engaging in an affair with their housemaid, Florence, including inviting her to hotels. The court also revealed that Paul had removed Anita and her sister from their home to assert control over the situation.
The divorce was finalized a year later by an Abuja High Court, with Anita receiving $20,000 monthly and several of Paul’s properties. Paul has since remarried model Ivy Ifeoma in May and welcomed a child with her. Although Paul and Anita maintained an amicable relationship after their separation, tensions resurfaced in August when they unfollowed each other on social media, reportedly after Paul purchased a second mansion in the US for his new wife.
