Actress and filmmaker Mercy Aigbe Adeoti has spoken out against negative comments surrounding her marriage to Kazim Adeoti.
In a recent interview with colleague, Bimpe Akintunde, she dismissed critics, questioning the state of their lives.
Aigbe emphasised that people only discuss others when they’re doing something notable or are well-known.
She stated that being at the top is what makes one a topic of conversation.
The actress also revealed that her family opposed her remarriage due to her age but she stood firm, knowing what she wanted.
Aigbe expressed her love for marriage and having a partner, saying she’s the type of person who loves to have a “crown” (husband) on her head.
“I love love, actually. What you said now, a lot of people do ask me, even some family members. They would be like, I’m close to 50 years old; what am I looking for? But I believe everybody knows what they want.
“What you want might be different from mine. I know what I saw, and I know what I wanted. I am the kind of person who loves to have a crown (husband) on my head and loves to be married.
“Maybe, if I’m still in my baby’s daddy’s house, I wouldn’t be known as Mercy Aigbe. Definitely people will talk when you do something good. If you are not known, you can’t be the topic. When I was young, I never thought my life would turn out this way,” she said.
Kazim Adeoti, popularly known as Adekaz, has been a behind-the-scenes figure in the entertainment industry for years.
However, his marriage to Mercy Aigbe in 2022 thrust him into the spotlight.
Despite the controversy surrounding their union, with many criticising Kazim’s involvement with Mercy as the reason for his first marriage’s demise, the couple has remained strong.
They continue to defy critics and publicly display their love for each other.
