Nigerian hype man Fisayo “MC Fish” Michael has responded to the allegations made by his estranged wife, Nollywood actress Anita Joseph, following the breakdown of their marriage.
The couple tied the knot in 2020, but their relationship reportedly came to an end in 2025 after months of speculation surrounding their union.
Anita Joseph had earlier accused MC Fish of infidelity, domestic violence, and substance abuse in her separation announcement.
Reacting in a video shared on Instagram on Wednesday, MC Fish admitted that cheating played a role in the collapse of the marriage, insisting that both parties were involved.
“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).”
He added that he would not go further into details to avoid further embarrassment for both of them.
MC Fish also claimed he had already moved out of the marriage months before Anita publicly confirmed 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.”
He further urged people not to normalize retaliation in relationships, saying “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 said.
“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.”
Anita Joseph has yet to respond to his latest comments.
