9ice and Tony Payne
Ex-spouse of singer 9ice, Toni Payne has found once again found love
In a couple of tweets shared on during the week, Toni Payne talks about love and happiness.
Even though 9ice has publicly come forward to apologised that Payne did not cheat him, Payne reveals the lasting effect of the messy divorce and bad publicity their short-lived marriage created for her career.
In a number of tweets, the mother of one spoke about how her hardwork was reduced to the drama of being somebody’s ex-wife and how this informed her decision to stay away and never work as a publicist in the Nigerian entertainment industry.
Her 2008 marriage to the ‘Gongo aso’ crooner, was enmeshed in controversies and accusations of infidelity.
Then they parted ways. The couple’s son, Zion, who is the only product of the marriage, currently lives with his mum.
While 9ice sought succour in the arms of Olasunkanmi Ajala, who has a daughter for him, Toni, who was once 9ice’ manager, remained a single parent. She at one point also worked as manager to popular musician Olamide.
But in a series of tweets, Toni has revealed her new found love and the need for a second chance.
9ice and Toni Payne separated in 2010 after having a son together Zion. They were married for a year. They officially divorced shortly after.
Before becoming a spoken word poet, Toni Payne tried her hands on artiste management. She managed late Zara and Nigerian rap star Olamide.
