Nollywood actress, Mercy Aigbe speaks about the rumors that she got married to her new husband, Kazim Adeoti for money.
According to Aigbe, she was already a well-to-do actress before she decided to walk down the aisle with Adeoti.
“I am not poor to start with. I work very hard, and I wonder why people donāt see my hard work. Iām one of the most misunderstood people. I work so hard and hardly sleep. I have assetsāmy child is abroad and I pay school fees in dollars. I change naira to dollars, and I have been doing that before I got married. I donāt know how people got that notion that I married because of money,” she said.

“It is not like he is poor, Iām also rich. Iām extremely comfortable to Godās glory. I married him because I love him, not because of money. I married him because he is my best friend. He gives me peace; he makes me happy. I didnāt marry him because of money, in fact, Iām working for him because we are business partners.”
Aigbe said they complement each other and at such wouldn’t describe herself as a gold digger.
“We complement each other, so I also brought something to the tableāitās not like I just walked into the relationship without any value. Iām not a gold-digger, I work hard for my money. All those influencing jobs you see me do, I charge huge sums of moneyāand my store is also the most followed on Instagram, so I make a lot of money from that too,” she added.
“I have over 10 million followers on Instagram and have been doing business for years. I am the first set of people that made so much money from influencing before it became very common and we made a lot of money. People are always judgmental; they donāt know the true picture.”
Kazim said he has been friends with Aigbe for over ten years as business partners before they started dating.
Rumour has it that Aigbe ended Kazim’s already existing marriage
“My family resides in the US, and I shuttle between Nigeria and the US because my business is here in Nigeria. If people say we are separated, maybe itās because my family is not here with me in Nigeria.
So, Iām good with my first wife, we are good together,” Kazim said in the interview.
“Though there were issues initially, we are good now, everything is fine and back to normal. I am a Muslim and I am entitled to more than one wife, now I have two wives. I have two beautiful women and Iām glad.”
