Dehinde Fajana, 9ice's manager has refused to trade words with Toni Payne, the estranged wife of the crooner who claimed Fajana was one of the people that made her marriage to crash.

In some reports, Payne had described Fajana as the brain behind the breaking up of her marriage, saying that the manager never liked her.

Fajana, however, said he wasn't ready to react to the allegation.

“She has freedom of speech. I am not ready to exchange any words with her. All I can say is that she knows the truth and I know the truth as well. She is free to do whatever she likes and say whatever she wants to say as well,” Fajana said.

Commenting on the news that 9ice is a new father of twins, Fajana said his artiste has been busy and is still very busy.

“I still will not say anything on the matter. As I am talking to you, we are in the studios. When we are not in the studio, we are travelling all over, performing at shows. My artiste is a busy man. That is all I can tell you,” Fajana said.
