Speaking during the interview, Jegede said: “He [my ex-husband] is eight years older than me. But the moment we got married, if I tell am say, ‘You dey craze,  he would say I’m disrespecting him. I would if it was the same person I got married to.

“But that wasn’t the main reason I left the marriage. Let me just say the fact, I was bringing more money. I’m taking care of my son like nobody exists around me. It’s not easy. I would have gone for money instead of love.”
