PRESS RELEASE FROM 9ICE’s PR Company

LAGOS| NIGERIA

January 8, 2010

It’s a brand new year of opportunities and possibilities; and we’ll specially like to thank you for your love and support for 9ice and his label this past year.

That 9ice has grown from an upcoming singer-performer, to become one of Africa’s most promising exports, is not just as a result of his talent, hard work and can-do spirit; but because the media in Nigeria (print, broadcast and online) have been extremely kind to him and his music.

Unfortunately, we may have some sad news for you.

9ice and his beautiful wife Toni Payne; with whom he tied the knots last year; are separating.

The couple have agreed to separate for a while, even though they continue to remain good friends and business partners.

Their baby Zion will reside with Toni for now.

This is a very very tough decision for the couple, and it’s a tough, even trying time for the young partnership we all admire so much. And they’re even the more constrained to make this announcement; knowing it will shatter many of their fans, and admirers inside and outside the country.

But they have both agreed to be responsible about the development, and make public what is necessary, to avoid unnecessary speculations, and rumours.

And it is their wish that we all respect their privacy at this period.

Neither 9ice nor Toni will be granting any press interviews on this matter.

Story Developing…

few days after this story of cheating on his wife

You dey sure no be Aloy Emeka speed up the break up

LOL already?

its kinda sad, if its true

this is indeed a very sad news, whats happenings? omg!!!

knew this wasw bound to happen.it was just a matter of time.but it happened too soon.wish them the best.

:osure noone cld hv predicted the crash wld be this SOOOON!

. . . just hope 9ice aint on a free fall sha!

it is shocking tho!
but i say it and will say it again, MARRIAGE  IS NOT FOR EVERYBODY!!!!!

Marriage. . . . . . . . Overrated .

Why do people especially these so-called celebrities bother getting married??

Celebrity marriages, they never last

Hey Yah. . . i feel bad for them

see what aloy emeka's gossip has caused.

Eyyaaaaaaa

You see that celebrities are bound to remain single. Which is better, to remain single or to marry for a year and break up? I wouldn't blame those guys that remain single.

people break up daily even hourly.a good numba of them are celebrites.

It is very disheartening! I luv 9ice

this is very sad news!

What is making me annoyed is that the money that they would have given to people like me to invest or do something useful with it, they spent in on the wedding that lasted 4 just a year. What a waste

Are they divorced or seperated? If seperated, I hope they get back together someday! The marriage institution has so been bastardize especially by most of these so called celebs. They keep on setting bad precedence about love and marriage. I just hope most youths of this generation wont start to see marriage in this form. All these nonsense with marriage wont deter me, I believe that I find my wife and live with her happily ever after. So help me God!

I don't feel sorry for any of them, if they like they should kill themselves, marriage should not be taken the way these celebraties are taking it, its as if marriage is a child's play.

ALAPO MEJI why nah ? very sad

Shiit happens. . . . All you can do is move on.

This isn't a cheering news at all!!
Just when you are thinking our youths are doing right by embracing the institution, something so unpleasant rears its head to rock your fantasy!! I'm so so so sad. . . I really wasn't excited when they hooked up but I had to wish them well all the same. . .
I sincerely hope the separation isn't something so serious and it's only referring to their long distance relationship!!
God have mercy

PLEASE LISTEN TO

ONCE BITTEN TWICE SHA ON HIS ALBUM, YOU WILL UNDERSTAND MORE.

awww. . shame .
i thought this celebrity marriage was going to last. . .they always look so lovely and cuddly whenever they're together. maybe they were playing for the cameras

damm dat was quick

.awww. . . . .sad, bt it happenz, jst g0tta m0ve on.

So unfortunate

The question on my mind is this? Do they have genuine love for each other? or is this a celebrity make up thing
I believe it's only genuine love that lasts. There are lots of celebrities today that are still happily married

The only marriage that lasts is the one with GENUINE LOVE as its foundation not FAME or WEALTH

Don't get me wrong, I am not blaming them and I know nothing about the foundation of their relationship

Thank you
