Media figure Daddy Freeze has talked candidly about the events of his first marriage, stating that the main reason he got married was because he was pregnant.
Daddy Freeze claimed in an interview with Chude Jideonwo that he and his ex-wife were too young and immature emotionally to get married at the time.
“We had no business getting married because we were very young and immature. I was 24, and she was 22 when we married. She was pregnant. If she weren’t pregnant, I’m not sure we would have gotten married,” he said.
In addition, he considered the consequences of the marriage, such as his tense relationship with his kids, and he accused his ex-wife of keeping him from seeing them. He claimed that the separation had a major negative impact on him throughout the years and that it was extremely taxing.
The marriage felt like “two damaged people trying to make something work,” he said, because he and his ex-wife were both “stubborn.”

In July, Daddy Freeze, has revealed how he was excommunicated from his former church after his divorce.
Speaking in a recent episode of The Honest Bunch podcast, Daddy Freeze also claimed that the death threats were extended to members of his family.
He further asserted that his outspoken criticism of Nigerian pastors emboldened others to demand accountability from clerics across the country.
He said, “After my divorce, my pastor tried to reconcile me and my ex-wife, but I told him I wasn’t interested. So, I was excommunicated from serving in church events or sitting in the front row.
I felt rejected because Jesus never condemned the woman who had been married five times and was living with a sixth man whom she wasn’t married to. I only had one divorce, and my church is treating me as if I committed murder.
“So, I stopped going to church and started reading scriptures in the original languages. I started going deeper and deeper into the scriptures. You can’t do that work for one year, and any Nigerian pastor would make sense to you. It’s impossible.
“If there’s anybody who has experienced persecution from Nigerian pastors and their minions, it’s me. They called me derogatory names. I had death threats that were transferred to my family members. That was 10 years ago. And the work I did is why you have people standing up today to the church.”
Meanwhile, Daddy Freeze has replaced controversial podcaster Nedu Wazobia as host of The Honest Bunch.
