Harrysong Showed Me Shege for Four Years, Estranged Wife Fires Back
Alexer Peres, the estranged wife of Nigerian singer Harrysong, has responded to his recent accusations amid their marital issues.
In an Instagram live session, Harrysong accused Alexer of getting pregnant by another man while they were still married.
The singer claimed that a year had passed without intimacy between them when she informed him of the pregnancy.
He had said: “My wife came to inform me that she was pregnant when I stopped sleeping with her for almost a year. She was pregnant for another man in a marriage.
“The only thing I said was that this setting will not work; you need to go back to your people. I will need to sit down and get to know you. I got married to her because people said she was a good girl. Then she started acting like a loyal, humble Christian.”
Harrysong also criticized Alexer’s family, alleging infidelity within their household.
He claimed: “Her mother just got married to a sixth or seventh husband, and the same guy is still calling to inform me that the woman is not staying as she has another boyfriend in town. That’s the kind of family I married into.”
Reacting in her own Instagram live session, Alexer Peres denied Harrysong’s allegations and urged him to move on.
She said: “You dey watch film, abi na Nollywood? I don’t understand how you would say that I carried another man’s child when I’m still married to you. I have never cheated on you since we married. I never tried it.”
“I’m not your problem. You said I am not good enough. I’m moving on; you too, move on. The only thing I tell you is to take care of your kids. And now, you’re dragging me, you’re dragging my parents into this. When your own is bad.”
Alexer accused Harrysong of being the one who cheated and revealed names and details of his alleged affairs.
She also accused him of domestic violence and claimed to have endured infections due to his infidelity but forgave him repeatedly because she wanted to “build a marriage.
“But the person I want to build with doesn’t have sense. For four years, you showed me shege. You beat me, but I still stayed.
“Because I want to move on, you’re dragging me. You seized my passport and my children’s passport because you don’t want us to travel,” she added.
Alexer recounted several incidents of Harrysong’s infidelity, including one where she found him with a mistress in their hotel room shortly after they married.
She claimed that the four years of their marriage were the most unbearable of her life and that Harrysong seized her phone and deleted evidence of his wrongdoing.
“For 4 years, you showed me Shege… Only you get Asaba ashewo 1, Asaba 2, Asaba ashewo 3. Lagos ashewo 1 Lagos ashewo 2, Lagos ashewo 3… You seized me and my children’s passport, seized my phone and deleted everything; all the evidence I have,” she said in part.
The Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria has voiced strong objection to ban imposed by the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) on rapper Eedris Abdulkareem’s trending song, “Tell Your Papa.”
The IPMAN President, Pretty Okafor, emphasised that the ban was likely to backfire, as it only serves to amplify the song’s reach and relevance in light of the current socio-economic challenges facing Nigerians.
Okafor stated: “The first major mistake is banning the song because it’s going to make the song even go viral right now. Those who haven’t heard about the song or haven’t even listened to it will go now to look for the song and will start promoting it. The song has practically pinched the government somewhere, that’s why they ordered for the ban. So, there is already a mistake that has been made by the NBC or even the government by paying attention to that particular song.”
Discussing PMAN’s position on the matter, Okafor remarked, “We don’t have the power to offer the artiste support right now because it is a very sensitive issue, so, we need to be careful. We will just be watching because people are dying and the suffering is too much. How do we repair the economy? We cannot pretend that all is well. The song is telling us the truth, and there is nothing wrong with that song.”
The NBC barred Nigerian radio and television stations from airing the trending song, “Tell Your Papa,” by popular rapper Eedris Abdulkareem, citing its “objectionable nature.”
In a memo dated April 9, 2025, and issued by the Coordinating Director of Broadcast Monitoring, Susan Obi, the commission declared the track “Not To Be Broadcast” under Section 3.1.8 of the Nigeria Broadcasting Code.
This section prohibits content deemed inappropriate, offensive, or in breach of public decency from being aired on Nigerian broadcast platforms.
According to NBC, while the song had gained momentum across social media platforms, its lyrical content failed to meet the standards of responsible broadcasting.
The statement titled, “Restriction on broadcasting ‘Tell Your Papa’ by Eedris Abdulkareem,” reads, “The National Broadcasting Commission has identified the song ‘Tell Your Papa’ by Eedris Abdulkareem, currently trending on social media, as content deemed inappropriate for broadcast due to its objectionable nature.
” It is, therefore, classified as Not To Be Broadcast (NTBB), as it violates Section 3.1.8 of the Nigeria Broadcasting Code.
“The commission requests that your station exercises discretion and refrains from airing this song to maintain responsible broadcasting standards.”
The controversial song, released earlier this week, targets Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, calling on him to confront his father over the worsening socio-economic conditions in Nigeria.
In the track titled “Tell Your Papa,” which was shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, Abdulkareem delivered a blunt message, painting a grim picture of the hardships facing everyday Nigerians.
The song comes in response to Seyi Tinubu’s recent comments in Adamawa State, where he described his father as “the greatest President in Nigeria’s history.”
In the hard-hitting lyrics, Abdulkareem raps, “Seyi, tell your papa country hard. Tell your papa people dey die. Tell your papa this one don pass jagajaga.”
“Seyi, how far? I swear your Papa no try. Too much empty promises. On behalf of Nigerians, take our message to him; kidnappers dey kill Nigerians.
“Seyi, try travel by road without your security, make you feel the pains of fellow Nigerians. You dey fly private jets, insecurity no be your problem.”

Afrobeat music singer, Davido, has announced that his Church wedding with Chioma will take place in August, 2025.
The singer disclosed this in a recent interview with The Breakfast Club.
He likened the upcoming event with the traditional marriage in Nigeria, which he said was a “Carnival”.
Davido said: “I’m doing my white wedding in Miami (USA) in August. The wedding I did was traditional; it was like a carnival in Nigeria, like a holiday. The whole world stood still. Me and my wife’s relationship was in the public eye, especially after I did that one song.
“So, a lot of things happened. Even apart from losing our child, I messed up a lot of times so that full circle moment everyone was like finally she can get what she deserves.”
