Gospel Star Asu Ekiye Reveals 28-Year Marriage Has Ended

Popular Nigerian gospel artist, Asu Ekiye, and his wife, Kunemofa, have publicly confirmed the end of their 28-year-long marriage. The news was shared by the acclaimed singer this morning, August 20, via his social media accounts.

Ekiye revealed that the marital union actually dissolved a year ago, but he deliberately waited until now to make the announcement. He explained this decision was to allow for “perspective, clarity and quiet acceptance of their separation” to settle in before going public.

In his comprehensive statement, he expressed: “After 28 years of a deeply personal journey of growth, experience and reflection, I wish to announce, with a profound sense of sobriety and quiet resignation, that my marriage to KUNEMOFA ASU has come to an end. Some chapters, however significant and memorable, eventually come to an end. I choose to close this chapter with grace, gratitude and dignity, while looking ahead to the possibilities of a new season. For the avoidance of doubt, this marriage ended a year ago. I have deliberately chosen to make this announcement only now, after allowing time to bring the perspective, clarity and quiet acceptance that such a deeply personal transition deserves.”

He further reiterated the same sentiment in his statement, emphasizing the thoughtful timing of his disclosure: “After 28 years of a deeply personal journey of growth, experience and reflection, I wish to announce, with a profound sense of sobriety and quiet resignation, that my marriage to KUNEMOFA ASU has come to an end. Some chapters, however significant and memorable, eventually come to an end. I choose to close this chapter with grace, gratitude and dignity, while looking ahead to the possibilities of a new season. For the avoidance of doubt, this marriage ended a year ago.
