Sunmbo Ajaba Adeoye, one of
Tuface's babymamas
in an interview with
Punch, spoke out for
the first time, on how she
went into a fake marriage to
cover up for the pregnancy she
had for Nigeria King of hiphop, tuface Idibia. Read the interview below:
How would you describe
meeting your husband?
It is so funny because he had
always been my pastor. He is
someone I always went to for
mentorship, so when he came
across as wanting to be my
husband, I was a bit scared. Even
though I knew I was asking God
for a husband, a father, friend
and mentor, I did not know it
was my pastor that was going to
fit in because nobody was
praying for his wife to die. When
he made his intentions known, I
thought maybe if I stayed away
from church, he would forget
about me. I realised that
whenever I stayed away from
church, I would lose my peace. I
was a committed member of the
church as well as the praise team
leader.

Then, I started praying and
fasting. I began to ask God if it
was what He wanted for me. I
knew my past and I told God I
was going to drop my tall, dark
and handsome for whatever He
wanted for me.
Many will argue that having a
second baby is not
circumstantial.
That happened because we were
in a relationship. I met Tuface
when I was a student of Yaba
College of Technology. I had just
lost my dad and my mum was
living in America. For someone
who was a daddy's girl, I needed
love. This was the only person
that was showing me love at that
time. I feel I had that experience
so that other young girls would
not make the same mistake. I
was 24 when I fell pregnant the
first time.
When I got pregnant the first
time, I approached the pastor of
the church I was attending then
and he brought me out before
the church and judged me. I was
asked to go and bring the father
of my unborn child so we could
be joined together. I brought a
different person and we got
married at the registry.
Everything fell apart when I had a
child who looked nothing like
him and my mum came back
from America to ask who gave
my hand out in marriage
because she was not a part of it.
I had to walk out of the marriage
which I arranged by myself. I
moved back home and by age 25
I was already a single mum and a
divorcee.There was so much
shame and reproach.
It got to a point in my life that I
felt that the Devil you know is
better than the angel you don't
know, so I went back to my baby
daddy and his mum talked me
into living with him so he won't
have more women and babies.
We lived together for three years
and that was how the second
pregnancy happened.
It was not a bed of roses while I
was there because I was trying
to put together what was not
supposed to be. I think we broke
up in 2009 after I had the
second baby. There were other
women who were also going to
have babies for him around that
time. I came to my senses like the
prodigal son and I was so
broken. I think my baby daddy
was out of the country that
fateful day when I returned from
work and I packed all my things
plus that of my children, and I
went back to my parents' home.
How would you describe being
married to your husband?
It is a privilege that comes with a
lot of glory and responsibilities. It
also comes with a lot of glamour
and commitment. It comes with
its own challenges and God has
equipped us to handle
everything. This is not the
Sunmbo that got married to
Pastor Adeoye three years ago. I
am a better person and I am
now refined.
What are your pet names for
each other?
I call him baby all the time but
sometimes I call him pastor. He
calls me baby or Desunmbo.
