Fisayo Michael, the entertainer popularly known as MC Fish, has forcefully responded to allegations that he was financially dependent on his estranged wife, Nollywood actress Anita Joseph. The hypeman and Master of Ceremonies broke his silence on the matter via his Instagram story, vehemently denying the claims and defending his professional reputation.
A Strong Rebuttal to Financial Dependency Claims
In a lengthy post made on January 3, 2026, MC Fish directly addressed the narrative that he relied on Anita Joseph for financial support during their five-year marriage. He challenged the notion with strong words, daring anyone to prove otherwise. "I dare her to say she took care of the bills by herself in the five years of that marriage," he stated, expressing clear frustration with the accusations.
He insisted on his own hard work and financial independence, writing, "You will be the fool of 2026 to think that I don't work for my money. Because you can't afford me doesn't mean I don't work." MC Fish, who has been in the entertainment industry for over 15 years, warned those spreading what he called lies that they would eventually face the truth.
Defending the Hypeman Craft and Revealing His Role
Beyond the personal allegations, MC Fish used the opportunity to address what he sees as a broader disrespect for his profession. He expressed annoyance at the "Hypeman narrative" in Nigeria, where people hire hypemen for events but fail to recognize the skill involved. "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. But still refuse to recognize the craft of an ordinary Hypeman," he lamented.
He argued that his professional value was evident, suggesting that Anita Joseph herself relied on it. "The real truth is if there was no future in the job, you so-called legendary actress no go put body, simple!" he said.
In a significant revelation, MC Fish detailed the multifaceted support he claims to have provided to Anita Joseph's career. According to his post, his contributions included:
- Helping to set up her business.
- Assisting in monetising her social media platforms.
- Acting as her manager, public relations officer, and personal assistant at various times.
- Ensuring her security and VIP treatment at events.
He presented these points to counter the gold digger label, implying his role was one of an enabler and supporter, not a dependent.
A Fiery Conclusion and Prophecy for Critics
MC Fish concluded his emotional post with a sharp message for his detractors. He directed a pointed prophecy at those who insulted his profession: "For everyone that opened their mouth to insult my job, I prophesy that your children and children's children will all be hypemen/MCs… but in Jesus' name, Ase gun."
This public statement marks a new chapter in the ongoing narrative surrounding the separation of the former couple, shifting the conversation from mere gossip to a debate about professional respect and the unseen dynamics within celebrity relationships.
