When YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine broke the story about the hell that had become Freeze and Ope’s marriage, the popular OAP with Cool FM got in touch, screaming that we should look for work to do. Today, however, Ifedayo Olarinde, aka Freeze and his wife are the ones doing the work for us by shamelessly washing their dirty linen in public.
In an exclusive interview with celebrated blogger, Stella Dimoko – Korkus, Freeze was literally shooting from all cylinders. The wristwatch collecter who now has a son from his new lover swathed his estranged wife with mud.
According to him, the woman keeps late nights, mingles with unwholesome friends, comes home regularly drunk, makes calls to strange men at ungoldly hours, abandons her children to go and frolic, saves a man’s number with a female friend’s name and has a destructive spirit…
Undone, he went further to accuse her of lashing out at his mother and even attempting to slap her in his presence and his father! Adding that the pretty mother of two is possessive, jealous, violent, very insecure, embarrasses him publicly, disrespectful and mannerless.
Delving into her family background, he revealed that Ope’s mother, a single woman, has seven children for three different men. And on her part, Ope, who is obviously still overwhelmed by the turn out of events in her marriage only managed to utter this in her terse response: ‘I would like to state here categorically that I AM NOT AND NEVER HAVE BEEN A VIOLENT ADULTERESS!’ Accusing her hubby of desperately seeking attention and publicity to generate a livelihood, she insisted that not only does she wish him well, she also makes time to pray for him. Freeze, half Romanian and half Nigerian (from Ogun State) should be in his 40s. A Sociology graduate of the University of Ibadan, he kicked off his broadcasting career in 1996 with BCOS, and in 2011 joined Cool FM. He was in year two in the university when his path and that of Ope, then a Jambite, collided at Ibadan, and they began dating. Then, marriage. The union had produced two children – Ayo and Adun before things fell apart. Freeze, right now, has one more child from his latest lover – a boy.
