The Nigerian hype man, Fisayo “MC Fish” Michael, has reacted to allegations made by his estranged wife Anita Joseph following the collapse of their marriage.
MC Fish and the actress tied the knot in 2020 before ending their union in 2025.
In her announcement confirming the separation, Anita had accused him of infidelity, domestic violence and substance abuse.
Responding in an Instagram video on Wednesday, MC Fish — who previously claimed he added relevance and structure to Anita’s career — admitted that cheating from both parties contributed to the breakdown of the marriage.
“Cheating in marriage, I have experienced it, you all know the story, both parties cheated, and I am not even denying the fact that I am absolving myself of blame,” he said.
“I did it, she cheated too, with countless numbers of people that, if I decide even to mention, the whole country and everybody will first be on pause.
“If I decide to mention names, her colleagues that were involved, her friends that come online saying ‘you are a queen, you are this one, you are that, you are a role model’, we know what she’s role modelling for them. In cheating, I had to leave the marriage.
“I am not going to do something that will embarrass the two of us outside this thing (the marriage).”
The hype man said he would not reveal more details in order to avoid disgracing both parties publicly.
MC Fish also disclosed that he had moved on long before Anita publicly announced their separation.
“She is the one who carried the news outside. I had left my house since July last year, 2025, when the news came out in December. I had moved on with my life before you people came,” he said.
“In fact, because of this thing, I had to cut off every entanglement, every relationship that I had in that marriage, and even the ones that, oh, I could even have done something with after I left. I opened a clean slate.”
Referring to the ongoing controversy involving Frank and Sandra Edoho, MC Fish argued that “cheating does not solve cheating”.
“All of you that are glorifying this nonsense, I don’t think you people are in your husband’s houses,” he added.
“I don’t you people have men in your lives. Because if you have men in your lives, you will not be supporting this rubbish.”
As of the time of filing this report, Anita Joseph had yet to respond to the latest claims.
