Barely 48 hours after pop singer,
Oluwabimpe Susan Harvey, fondly known as Goldie Harvey died, new
facts, especially about her marital status have emerged.
It was apparent that in view of her music career, the late singer
decided to play down on her marital affairs, including the need to make
her participation at the Big Brother Stargame House, dramatic moments
without her colleagues getting less acquainted by treating her as a
married woman.
But the internet has gone viral
ever since these fresh facts emerged, including the marriage pictures
released on Goldie’s facebook page by her husband. Fans of the late
singer have been reacting to the ensuing controversies, one of which
centers on her alleged romance with Prezzo, a Kenyan rapper and one of
the contenders in the BBA Stargame House. He was reported to be in
Nigeria on St Valentine’s Day with an engagement ring for the late
songstress.
As if that was not enough,
another woman, by the name Ifeoma Harvey, is claiming the late singer
‘stole’ her husband. The anonymous lady, who claimed to have two kids
for Harvey, said that she was Goldie’s best friend until the deceased
seduced the man into a secret wedding in Nigeria.
But the wedding pictures which Harvey posted online do not suggest
any thing secret about the union. Both parents and family members were
at the wedding which looked elaborate. Harvey’s dad and mum, who flew in
from the United Kingdom were attired in traditional wears during the
engagement ceremony. There were also evidences of an elaborate church
wedding.
Again, Harvey was quick to shut
up rumour mongers who were insinuating that his late wife may have died
of drug related ailment. According to him, Goldie never used drugs in
the last 10 years that he knew her. They were married in 2005.
Perhaps, apart from the fact that
the late singer never wore a wedding band, was part of the reasons
people never took her seriously each time she mentioned casually that
she was married. Harvey said, even he had not been wearing their wedding
ring; adding that it was a matter of providence: “We had wedding bands
and swapped them at the church wedding, they were oversize.”
“After the wedding I was on assignment in Houston and took them for
resizing. The day of leaving, all my things were stolen from my hired
car and I had to delay my journey to get new passport and visa. We both
agreed that as the blessed rings had been stolen, we did not want to
wear unblessed rings. From there, we decided that neither of us would
wear ring again.”
He said, the reason she wasn’t
flaunting her marital status was their preference as husband and wife.
This, they believed would keep their private life out of paparazzi. He
noted that, you won’t even find any pictures of their wedding in their
Ikoyi home, as all the pictures and reference stuffs have been kept in
the UK.
On the purported engagement ring
that Prezzo was meant to give to Goldie on Valentine’s day, Harvey
admitted spotting it on the internet, but said, since the Kenyan guy
never knew about him and his marriage to Goldie, it would be difficult
to accuse him of poaching: “But now he knows, the family and I would
prefer he maintains a low profile and allow us to grieve our loss. The
BBA game is over now,” he said curtly, adding that they had asked the
‘lover boy’ not to attend the burial. He said the family is not happy
with the development, and that he thought that Prezzo should respect the
wishes of her parents.
On why he is just publishing the
photographs of their wedding, Harvey said it was the decision taken by
him and Goldie’s family and that it was necessary for the world to know
everything before the pop singer is buried.
