Alexer revealed that despite trying to raise their 4-year-old and 3-year-old children independently for the past two years, she has faced constant interference from the singer.

She accused Harrysong of visiting her home unannounced, frustrating her efforts, and creating an environment where she feels she can no longer cope.

According to Alexer, the singer has insisted on taking charge of the children, even though she believes he is rarely available to care for them.

She claimed Harrysong has used his influence and resources to make life difficult for her.

She explained that she had taken the matter to welfare authorities but has now decided to hand over custody temporarily, emphasising that she intends to fight for her children again when the time is right.

In her message, Alexer expressed concern about the well-being of her young children, emphasising that they must remain healthy and safe under their father’s care.
