Fuji music legend, Adewale Ayuba, has debunked reports alleging he divorced his wife, Azuka Ego, over a paternity scandal, describing the claims as false, malicious, and defamatory.

The rumours stemmed from a YouTube channel, Nigerian News, which alleged that Ayuba secretly conducted a DNA test that questioned the paternity of his children and led to the collapse of his marriage.

In a statement issued through his label, Bonsue Fuji Entertainment, and shared on his Instagram page, Ayuba dismissed the report as a fabrication, stressing that his marriage of over three decades remains intact and that there has never been any doubt about the paternity of his children.

“This story is nothing but a malicious fabrication,” the statement read. “Dr. Adewale Ayuba’s integrity and the sanctity of his family life have been unjustly targeted. We are consulting with our legal team to ensure that those responsible for spreading these lies are held accountable.”

Ayuba vowed to pursue legal action against those behind the publication, warning that he would not tolerate any attempt to tarnish his image.

He urged fans and the public to disregard the unfounded claims and continue to support him and his family.

“This is a shameful attempt to damage the reputation of a man who has spent decades building a respected name. We are taking this seriously,” he concluded.
