MC Fish Speaks Out on Marriage Breakup
Nigerian hype man Fisayo Michael, widely known as MC Fish, has finally addressed the collapse of his marriage to actress Anita Joseph.
Until now, neither party had publicly discussed the reasons behind their split.
In a candid video posted on his Instagram, MC Fish acknowledged that faults lay on both sides, admitting that he and Anita were unfaithful during their union.
He described the situation as having become overly messy and painful, prompting his decision to walk away.
The entertainer also claimed that several individuals close to Anita, including figures from the entertainment industry, were implicated in the marital crisis.
MC Fish said he chose to leave quietly to avoid further public embarrassment for both himself and his former wife.
He revealed that he had already moved out of their shared residence months before the breakup became public knowledge.
According to him, he departed the home in July 2025, while news of the separation only surfaced online in December of the same year.
After leaving, MC Fish stated he cut all ties linked to that chapter of his life, aiming to start with a clean slate.
He added, “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. 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.”
He continued, “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).”
“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, 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 warned that many would come online with false narratives, but he would not engage in preaching or retaliating.
