It would have been disappointing if
drama did not follow her death.
Goldie, the unpredictable Goldie is
pulling surprises even in death.
Just last night, a man believed to be
her husband emerged, posting
intimate pictures on Facebook,
sharing same on her twitter handle,
and engaging with several curious
fans (he even issued a warning to
Prezzo, the man many of us have
come to know as the late singer’s
bonafide partner).
There were rumours she may have
been married or involved with an
expatriate, but no one could confirm
during her lifetime. But what was
hidden for years tore the lid and
came out last night, with the
startling revelation by the man
whose name is Andrew. Andrew
Harvey.
While still mourning his wife and
preparing to come to Lagos, he was
kind enough to speak exclusively
with Nigerian Entertainment Today…
So sorry about your loss. And so
sorry to be contacting you under
this circumstance. Nigerians are
shocked to discover, through your
FB post, that Goldie was married.
I’m wondering if you’ll able to give
me more details, and if we can have
your permission to print some of
the photos in the folder ‘Memories
of my darling wife’ ?
You may print the photos, as for the
details it really depends on what it is
you’re looking for
Thanks Andrew. Just to clarify a few
things
Like?
When did you wed her? And were
you still married as at when she
passed yesterday?
We wed in December 2005 and were
very much married when she passed
indeed I was talking to her on arrival
in Lagos before the fateful event
I see you moved back to England. Do
you have another family?
I work in Malaysia, we have a private
home in UK, I do not have a second
family
Also did you have kids together?
No kids, we were planning this year
There had been speculation for many
years that she was married to an
‘oyinbo’ man. But no one could lay
hands on anything. Why did you
keep it a ‘secret’?
Our private life is nothing to do with
work life, there has to be a balance
How did you hear of her death? I
found out you last saw her in
December?
I was talking to her on arrival in Lagos
before the fateful event
How did you meet her? She must
have been very young…
I met her at a friend’s leaving party
and fell in love straight away, but had
to work hard to persuade her I was
genuine
So you will be planning to come here
for burial rites…
Yes I have applied for visa and shall
come next week
But how did you manage the Prezzo
drama?
Prezzo was part of BBA game, just like
in the movies, there was nothing to
fear
But funny it dragged way beyond
BBA
It dragged because the media dragged
it, other wise it would have died
naturally. Prezzo will say anything to
get attention
Do you think he fell in love? And did
you ever think Susan liked him for a
minute…?
People fall in love and it’s not
impossible to love more than one
person, but there are different levels.
She liked him initially, but began to
despise him and distanced herself as
he tried to use her she complained he
was very manipulative
How did you come about your alias
‘Oyibopeppay?
Oyiiibopeppay is a name used in the
villages for white man getting burned
in the sun. I used to work in the bush
erecting BTS for MTN and Glo
You have direct access to her
password? The memories album was
posted on her twitter. Or you
requested for an admin to post?
I am an official admin. I don’t need
any password but my own. It was
authorised by Goldie
One last question: so much
speculation on cause of death. I see
from your facebook timeline that
you’ve followed the reports. Have
the doctors/family/label told you
what the cause of death is?
An autopsy is being carried out and we
will await results. The rest is
speculation and hearsay
And did she have any medical
condition?
She had no medical condition,
Is it true she was in India recently?
She was in Malaysia, we spent
Christmas together away from prying
eyes
What will you miss most about her?
Everything, she was the most beautiful
person I ever met, no moment was
wasted. Sweet, intelligent, sexy and a
magnificent cook!!!!
And she was a determined young
lady…
Very. That’s what I liked about her
Are you originally from England?
Was she officially a citizen of your
country by marriage? Or that was
not concluded?
I’m from England and was processing
Nigerian citizenship before I was
transferred to Malaysia. Of course she
was citizen of UK before we met, she
lived and schooled there
She was indeed a star, as I’m sure
you’ve seen from the tributes
coming from far and near. Even the
BBC and Billboard recognise her star
Yes we saw it on BBC news tonight. It
is a devastating loss, but I support just
as much wherever she has gone to.
May her soul rest in peace
Thank you.
