He explained that while marriage can be enjoyable, it should never be treated as a do-or-die affair. According to him, separation is sometimes necessary when things no longer work, a view shaped by his past marriage to Anita Okoye.
After his divorce, Rudeboy admitted to dating three different women, but none of those relationships met his expectations.
That changed when he met Ivy Zenny. What struck him most was her authenticity. He recalled offering to take her shopping early in their relationship, but instead of splurging,
Ivy chose just two items and remarked that the same money could buy her many more outfits at Tejuosho Market. That simple, grounded response convinced him she was different.
To Rudeboy, Ivy’s humility and contentment stood out in a way that made him realise she was the one.
Beyond his love life, the singer also addressed past legal issues involving the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
He stated confidently that he has been cleared of any wrongdoing and promised fans that an official statement will be released soon.
Watch him speak below:

"Marriage is a journey of companionship, not a destination of perfection. If he's found a partner who brings him comfort and peace, that's a victory worth acknowledging. The loudest critics are often those who've never walked in his shoes, nor understood the weight of loneliness. 'A man is not defined by his relationships, but by how he chooses to navigate their complexities.' Let's focus on empathy, not judgment."
