In a recent chat with 9ice, he said his estranged wife is nothing more than his baby mama. Read the short interview excerpts below:</p><br /><p><b>Interviewer:</b> Who is Tony Payne to you?</p><br /><p><b>9ice:</b> She’s nothing more than we have kid for each other.</p><br /><p><b>Interviewer:</b> Recently, Tony Payne says every political aspirant is looking for what to eat, are you sure she’s not referring to you?</p><br /><p><b>9ice:</b> Hmmm, if it is because of what I want to eat, so be it.</p><br /><p>Thank God I can drink my garri in the afternoon and eat beans at night without any stress. I can even drive my car to wherever I want to go. I can go to my friends’ houses to watch DStv, even if I don’t have it in my house, glory be to God. 1 Kings 19:7 says: ‘and the angel of the Lord came again the second time, and touched him, and said, arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee’. I don’t allow anything or anybody that might want to distract me in my journey, because the journey is too far. It’s not about what I want to eat but what I want to contribute to the development of my people.</p><br /><p>Tony Payne who was previously married to the singer has left Nigeria for the United States of America with her child.</p><br /><p>9ice is presently in a new relationship. His new girlfriend, Bukky gave birth to a baby girl few days ago in Houston Texas.</p><br /></div>
