MR SONGS SAYS HIS PARENTS ARE RELATED
Five
star artist Mr Songs popularly known as Harrysongs drew so much
attention in an interview when he said his parents were related, a
statement he later denied.
“It’s
just that after my dad and my mum gave birth to me, they separated and
went their different ways. So, my father got married to another woman
and also my mother to another man. They separated because I was given
birth to by two relations. My father and mother are actually brother and
sister. They gave birth to me before they could realize that.Well, I
learnt that when my mother was alive, she met my father. Then she was
still in school and they were in the same class and the same village.
But she didn’t know that they are closely related. So, I was born based
on what our villagers regarded as abomination and therefore they had to
separate. Because it was a big abomination, so they had to separate.
Even, they attempted to kill my father in that village, but he fled,
because in Warri where I come from, it is a taboo. They termed it
incest.”
