In a strongly worded statement issued by his management and also shared on his Instagram page, Ayuba described the report as malicious, fabricated.
He said it was aimed at tarnishing his hard-earned reputation. The statement read:
“We want to state this clearly to everyone who supports Dr Adewale Ayuba, that there is absolutely no truth, not a single iota in this cooked-up story."
According to Ayuba, he and his wife, Azuka Ego, have been happily married for more than three decades, and there has never been any question about the paternity of their children.

He confirmed that his legal team has been consulted to pursue all available remedies against the blogger behind the claims.
The singer maintained that the false story was nothing more than a cheap attempt to embarrass his family and destabilise his marriage.

Ayuba speaks on living in exile
Legit.ng earlier reported that Adewale Ayuba recently caught many by surprise as clips of him on the famous talk show With Chude went viral. The musician, during the interview, shared for the very first time why he had relocated from Nigeria and became a UK citizen.
He noted that his decision was because of a song he released in 1995 demanding the release of Chief Moshood Abiola, the country's duly elected president, during the 1993 general elections. The Fuji singer noted that Sani Abacha's government had placed a bounty on his head.
