‘Pity my soul’ – Chike cries out amid alleged infidelity scandal with Frank Edoho’s ex-wife

Popular Nigerian singer, Chike Ezekpeazu Osebuka, simply known as Chike, has thrown social media into a frenzy following a cryptic message shared online. This comes amid heavy allegations linking him to an illicit romantic affair with Sandra Edoho, the estranged wife of veteran media personality, Frank Edoho.

The controversy erupted after Frank Edoho publicised details of his marital crisis, claiming he caught his former spouse cheating on him with a musician, though he strictly refrained from mentioning a specific name. The ambiguous statement quickly sparked intense speculation across various online platforms, with netizens pointing fingers at the ‘Boo of the Booless’ crooner.

Capitalising on the brewing storm, controversial social media critic, VeryDarkMan, released a scathing video analysis of the situation. The influencer bluntly warned Chike that the scandal possessed the potential to permanently derail his thriving music career. VeryDarkMan argued that because a substantial portion of Chike’s income relies on lucrative wedding performances, insecure husbands would likely blackball the singer to prevent him from getting close to their wives.

Breaking his silence on Sunday night as the criticisms intensified, Chike took to his handle to share a brief but loaded statement: “Pity my soul!” Although the singer did not explicitly state whether the post was a direct response to the ongoing infidelity allegations, thousands of fans have interpreted it as an emotional plea to critics to halt the intense online vilification based on unverified rumors.

Interestingly, the heavy social media backlash has done little to diminish Chike’s charm among his core demographic. The singer was recently spotted at a cinema in Lagos, seemingly unbothered by the digital storm. A viral video from the venue showed enthusiastic female fans crowding around the star, signing autographs, taking photographs, and passionately singing his hit track ‘Running To You’ as a firm show of solidarity.

The developing drama adds another messy chapter to Frank Edoho’s highly publicised marital history, following his recent announcement of a second divorce. The media personality’s ex-wife has since hit back with counter-allegations of her own, claiming he cheated on her with multiple women, including high-profile names like Nollywood actress Mbong Amata and former Big Brother Naija star Tega Dominic.
