Nigerian music legend, King Sunny Ade (KSA) has addressed claims of having a romantic relationship with late Imo State born singer, song writer and actress Onyeka Onwenu.
Speaking during a condolence visit to Onwenu’s family, KSA shed light on the speculations that have surrounded their relationship for years.
According to the veteran singer, the rumours were part of a strategic move to promote their hit song, “Wait for Me.”
He explained that this is the reason they both decided not to confirm or deny the relationship.
He revealed, “That was a gimmick we did. It was for the music. We wanted to launch ‘Wait for Me.’ Before, people used to think she was my girlfriend. Me and her have never said yes or no.”
KSA also paid heartfelt tributes to Onwenu, describing her as an extraordinary woman who offered invaluable advice and support throughout their professional relationship.
“She’s someone who will sit down with you. She used to say, ‘Can I chip in for some advice?’ And the advice was always excellent,” he reminisced.
