Kazim Adeoti addresses criticism regarding his marriage to Mercy Aigbe
Nigerian film director and marketer, Kazim Adeoti, has responded to the backlash following his marriage to actress Mercy Aigbe.
Mercy publicly revealed their relationship in January 2022, which led to accusations from Kazim’s first wife, Funsho Adeoti, who claimed that Mercy “took him away.”
During a recent interview at the National Film and Video Censors Board conference in Lagos, Kazim explained that his decision to marry again was rooted in his Muslim faith, which permits polygamy. He addressed the public criticism by stating that as a public figure, he cannot control the opinions or reactions of others.
“In the public eye, you can’t really manage everyone’s views or stories,” he said.
Kazim emphasized the importance of staying focused and said, “At the end of the day, the results justify the means.”
Despite the controversy, Kazim remains dedicated to his work, confident that his projects and achievements will eventually speak for themselves. His comments have reignited conversations about polygamy and the societal norms within Nigeria’s entertainment sector.
