IT is no longer news that ace producer Solomon Oyeniyi, popularly known as K. Solo, acquired an SUV jeep valued at 7.5 million naira few days after an Ikeja High court granted him permission to file for divorce of his less-than-one-year union with estranged wife, Kikelomo, but what many might not know is that he “never paid a dime for the car.”

K. Solo who was embroiled in controversy for the larger part of the year 2012 with allegation of battery and assault from Kikelomo, who alleged that problem started when she refused to buy a range rover jeep for him and also change details of her asset to the producer’s name. K. Solo denied the allegations and the couple later came out to describe the palaver as publicity stunt at the time.

“I never did all I was accused of and I felt the pain. I don’t want to talk about it again, I have moved on and I wish people will appreciate the K.Solo they knew before the controversy.” It was reported by many bloggers that he bought the SUV jeep to celebrate his purported divorce from Kikelomo, which the artiste denied, “I never did that and I never told anybody I bought the car to celebrate a divorce. Come on, how can I do that? It is so unfortunate that everything I do is now associated with her issue. I am more than a decade in this industry and that was my first controversy. I never bought the car, somebody bought it for me.

During the heat of the controversy, someone who deals in cars called me from Cotonou and asked if is it true that Kikelomo bought me a Range Rover. I said no, that she alleged that I asked her to buy me one. And the person said I believe you. You are bigger than that, you can afford yourself a new car but if you don’t mind, can you come to Cotonou for a car? And that is how I got the car. I drove to Cotonou and should have brought it to Nigeria a day before my birthday on December 24 but I had to do the documentation. Sadly, it came in 2013 and not far from when I got the court permission for a divorce. Instead of people to ask me, they went viral that I bought it to celebrate my divorce. It is painful when people judge you from afar.” He continued, “I just hope that one day, Nigerians will celebrate their stars for the right reasons and not for the wrong reasons.

I am not the only one that has been hit with controversies; a whole lot was said about Tuface and then D’banj and many others but it is sad that people take delight more in our private lives than what we do. I am not saying we are saints but we are not devils, though we make mistakes. I pity people that make their private lives a round table discussion because it is not the ideal thing. We all have issues that we are all facing in our respective homes but we just have to look for a way to handle it without controversy.” He lamented his loss during the controversy, “it was difficult and my family advised me to leave the country at a point but I cried to my God to come to my rescue and He never fails even when men do. It was more worrisome that some artistes and celebrities I helped to their feet even when they had issues in the past left me and turned me to a laughing stock like ‘we have left him o’. I was sad but I thank God for my foundation. Though the controversy brought about storms and cracks that threatened me but the foundation stays and that is my God.”
