Lady Di defends Charly Boy“My husband is not gay, he doesn’t belong to Illuminati”

Lady Di, who has been Charly Boy’s wife, for over 35 years, has come out to defend his husband, saying that all the stories about his sexuality and his involvement in the Illuminati cult, are all made up.

“This is not the first time it’s happening. The only difference may be due to the context through which the rumour went viral, but realistically, there is nothing new about the rumour, we have heard it over and over again…I think people try to merge his personal life and artistic life. Obviously, they cannot be same,”

She then went on to emphasise that her husband, has built his personal brand, to stand the test of time and make people think.

“Charly boy had always hated the fact that someone should live the life of others…he only wanted to be himself…he wanted in a very aggressive and way to build a brand that will become an all time favourite to young people…but before then, we knew that controversy would sell quicker than anything else,” she said.

The couple have two children. "My husband does not release s..perm into my v..agina when making love to me; instead he pours it on my stomach,’’ she said. "My husband said he wants only two children and did not want me to be pregnant again.

" She told the court that her husband, whom she claimed lived a reckless life, was in the habit of suspecting her because he had been marrying women and divorcing them. "I once met my husband sleeping with his girlfriend on our matrimonial bed,’’ she said. Responding, Rasheed, who had filed the suit on the ground that there was no more love between them, said he did not want his wife again and accused her of sleeping around.

"If the marriage is dissolved, I want my children to be with me, and they must be allowed to go to school if they are with their mother,’’ he said. President of the court, A.B. Kudaisi, dissolved the union. "This court has realised that the marriage between the complainant and defendant has broken down," he said.

"Therefore, the union between the two is hereby dissolved." He, however, asked Rasheed to pay N15, 000 and N10, 000 to the defendant as rent and business allowance respectively, and ordered him to provide a feeding allowance of N5, 000 monthly, to her, for the children, who must stay with their mother because of their young age.
