Veteran rapper Michael Ugochukwu Steven, popularly known as Ruggedman, has disclosed that despite being the one who introduced singer 9ice to his ex-wife, Toni Payne, he was not invited to their wedding.
He said he received a call from 9ice’s ex-wife one fateful Saturday, informing him that it was their wedding day and that her husband instructed her not to invite him.
The rap star disclosed this in an interview with popular media personality, Chude Jideonwo.
He said, “I introduced 9ice to Toni Payne but 9ice didn’t invite me to his wedding with her.
“One Saturday morning, I woke up to a call from Toni Payne. She was like, ‘Ahn ahnn! Where are you now?’ I said, ‘Where am I what? I am at home.’ She said they were getting married that day. I asked her why didn’t she tell me and she said she wanted to but 9ice said she shouldn’t tell me.”
Recall that 9ice and Toni Payne broke up 10 years ago after the singer accused his wife of having an extramarital affair with Ruggedman.
The drama led to the exchange of Diss tracks between 9ice and Ruggedman, who vehemently denied the allegations.
The music stars reportedly later squashed their beef.
