Fisayo "MC Fish" Michael, the estranged husband of popular Nollywood actress Anita Joseph, has broken his silence for the first time, offering his side of their story in a series of candid social media posts. The revelations, made on January 3, 2026, have ignited fresh debates online about their relationship and his profession.
MC Fish Sets the Record Straight on Relationship and Career
Taking to his Instagram stories, MC Fish directly addressed circulating narratives about his marriage to the actress and his livelihood. He made it clear that contrary to some assumptions, Anita Joseph was the one who approached him first, and their subsequent interaction led to marriage.
He strongly dismissed claims that he was financially dependent on the actress during their five-year marriage. "I dare her to say she took care of the bills by herself in the five years of that marriage," he wrote in a mix of English and Pidgin. He insisted that he contributed significantly to their household and has built a solid career over 15 years as an MC and hypeman.
"I've been an MC/hypeman for over 15 years. You will be the fool of 2026 to think that I don't work for my money," he stated, challenging the stereotypes attached to his profession.
Defending His Craft and Issuing a Warning
MC Fish expressed frustration with what he called attempts to slander him based on his job. He argued that critics who look down on hypemen are often the same people who hire them for their events. "You people that insult us and call us names — when it's time for you to have a big party, you call us, pay us," he noted.
He also issued a stern warning against pushing him with false narratives. While stating he had avoided discussing marriage details, he threatened to reveal more if provoked. "But if anybody lie for my head, masala go burst and names go flow, so make nobody whine me," his post read.
He concluded his defense by pointing out that if his job had no future, Anita Joseph would not have agreed to marry him. "The real truth is if there was no future in the job, una so-called legendary actress no go put body. Simple!"
Social Media Erupts with Mixed Reactions
The online community has been divided in its response to MC Fish's outburst. Some users supported his right to tell his story, like user justnwapeters who advised: "Stop judging with emotions. Just pray for them and wish them well."
However, many others criticized his decision to publicly state that Anita approached him. User hildaomes commented, "Na why i no advice woman to first approach man o, see finish must end am," while anita__chi warned, "No 1 lesson from this rant No go toast man o!!!"
Several commentators questioned his motive, noting that Anita Joseph herself has remained silent since their separation. User symply_tboss asked, "She never publicly say anything bad about you since the breakup? why not focus on dragging the fans... and leave her alone?"
Others defended the actress's choice, with tmsdiettherapy stating, "She approached you and you agreed, that means she’s all that and then some. Next!"
The episode highlights ongoing public fascination with celebrity relationships and the societal debates they spark regarding gender roles, financial independence, and professional respect.
