Dozie Claims He Set Aside ₦45 Million for Wedding
According to Dozie, he had promised to remain silent but decided to speak out after Celyn repeatedly called him out online. He stated that he had set aside ₦45 million for their wedding, but a misunderstanding arose, with her allegedly feeling that he wanted her to bear the financial burden alone.
He also admitted to speaking harshly to her on one occasion and claimed he has apologized repeatedly for that incident.
Dozie Shares Proof of Financial Support for Their Child
Dozie emphasized that he has been supporting Celyn and their baby since her C-section, covering hospital bills and sending money for baby essentials. He shared screenshots of monthly payments for the child's upkeep, totaling over ₦700,000 per month.
He explained that after an unpleasant experience at her home, he decided he would no longer visit her residence, insisting instead that their child be brought to a public place for visitation.
Public Reactions to Dozie's Post
The TikTok post elicited mixed reactions from social media users. User @v_toria122 commented, 'The last slide. His child is sick and is in and out of the hospital and he wasn’t made aware, she shouldn’t use the child to punish him.'
@trish_simon15 wrote, 'He sounds like a good man to be fair. He does sound committed to his kid's life and she sounds like she’s really angry about what he did. Love is such a messy thing but yeah wish you both well Biko.'
@omzynificent noted, 'But wait o, if you already budgeted 45 million for the wedding, I don’t see the need for the discussion of who is taking up this and that expenses. 45M is enough.'
@scotland_ratels added, 'If what the guy is saying is true then he did her no wrong, not allowed to see your child and still paying 700k+ for upkeep monthly. He’s doing a great job let’s be honest.'
@mc_chez1 remarked, 'Marry an immature influencer at your own risk, most of them believe they are popular and people will believe all they said and lack maturity.'
