MC Fish said it was wrong for people to dismiss his work simply because of stereotypes attached to the profession.

Speaking on their marriage, he stated that while the relationship eventually ended, it was not true that he was financially dependent on Anita Joseph.

He attacked claims that she singlehandedly paid the bills throughout their five-year marriage, insisting that he contributed significantly and worked for his money.

MC Fish also warned against what he described as attempts to provoke him with false narratives, saying he had deliberately avoided discussing details of their marriage but would respond if pushed further.

He further defended the hypeman profession, noting that many people who criticise it still hire hypemen for their events and parties. He argued that if there was no future in his job, Anita Joseph would not have agreed to marry him in the first place.

His posts read, in part:

“I've always maintained my lane. I dey where I dey hype when dem come toast me and e lead to a marriage, fine. Marriage no work again and the next thing — woman dey feed me? I dare her to say she took care of the bills by herself in the five years of that marriage. Imbeciles everywhere."
“I've been an MC/hypeman for over 15 years. You will be the fool of 2026 to think that I don't work for my money. Because you can't afford me doesn't mean I don't work."
“I still repeat am again: if dem born una well, make una come talk am for my front. I'm still saying it — say make we no start dey talk wetin we don do for that marriage. But if anybody lie for my head, masala go burst and names go flow, so make nobody whine me."
“This hypeman narrative dey annoy me sometimes. You people that insult us and call us names — when it's time for you to have a big party, you call us, pay us. But still refuse to recognise the craft. ‘That ordinary hypeman’? SMH. Ordinary hypeman wey if una no hear for club or party, una mind no go touch ground."
