NEWS broke early this week that the
not-yet-one-year-old marriage of highlife act, St. Janet (real names Omotoyosi
Kayode Iyun), is heading for the rocks.
The popular and controversial Lagos-based female
singer, reportedly, caught her hubby and band leader with her teenage daughter
and which she got from an earlier relationship.
The marriage to her heartthrob, Olukayode Samuel Iyun,
was only consumated two years ago. Hence, throwing the leud-singing highlife
diva of National Broadcasting Commission-banned Faaji Plus fame into
unhappiness.
Iyun, incidentally, was her long-standing band
manager, until they both wedded quietly two years ago after dating for over a
decade.
It was reported that the development rattled the
fleshy singer and she promptly, packed out of her matrimonial home in Alagbado
area of Ijaye, Lagos.
That matter which promptly went viral and attracted
broadcast comments, particularly in Lagos, reported that she caught her husband
sleeping with one of her daughters. The 16-year-old-girl (name withheld) was from
St. Janet’s previous marriage. The girl came to spend the last holiday with her
mother and step-father at their Ilapo Estate, Alagbado home.
St. Janet was said to be happy at the opportunity of
being reunited with her daughter who was before then living with one of her
relations. Unfortunately, her joy turned into despair as rumours started making
the rounds about an amorous relationship between her daughter and her new
husband.
Her suspicion were then cleared when she allegedly
caught her husband making love to her daughter inside her matrimonial home.
Sources close to the musician said the despicable act
had thrown St. Janet off-balance and dejected as she allegedly swore never to
forgive her man who is best known in the industry as Kay.
It was learnt that the development has forced the
singer to move to an undisclosed hotel within the neighbourhood to fend off
contact with Kay.
However, close sources to the singer are playing down
the development, saying the only problem between the singer and her husband is
a minor misunderstanding that will be resolved soon.
However, contrary to the general notion that Saint
Janet has parted ways with her husband of two years The Nigerian Compass on
Saturday, gathered through reliable sources that the story may not be true.
Reacting, a close source to the family, told our correspondent that it was just
a way of “rubbishing” the controversial but successful singer and her husband.
“It is not true. Kayode is a responsible man, he
cannot stoop so low. Kayode was with her
last Friday at the 8th anniversary of Owuro Lawa ( A Yoruba magazine programme
on Lagos Weekend Television, LTV). Besides, St Janet’s daughter is just 14 or
15 years old. How can a reasonable man sleep with that kind of girl?” our
source asked.
The couple met 12 years ago in Abeokuta, Ogun State
but got married offically two years ago. They have since been blessed with a
year-old son, Orinayo Michael.
The lewd performer caused a big stir when she made a
debut with her album entitled, Faaji Plus. Interestingly, the controversial
album instantly became a hit, despite its controversy.
It was one of the most played songs at parties, pubs
and clubs while the lady became one of the most-sought after live show
performers in the industry.
