Gospel singer Neon Adejo has publicly denied allegations that he flirted with Alicia, the estranged wife of photographer David Martins. In a video statement, Adejo explained the circumstances behind a request for a selfie from Alicia, which had been interpreted by David as inappropriate.
Adejo's Explanation: Support, Not Flirting
Adejo said he became involved with Alicia's situation after she allegedly opened up to him about experiencing mental, financial, verbal, and emotional abuse in her marriage. He stated that he informed his wife about the matter, and together they agreed to support Alicia. This support reportedly included financial assistance, accommodation, and other forms of help.
Regarding the selfie request, Adejo clarified that it came after Alicia had her hair done through a friend he recommended. He said he wanted her to send a picture so he could update the friend who had helped with the hairstyle. He emphasized that the message was later shared by David in a way that suggested he was flirting with Alicia, adding that important parts of their conversation had been deleted.
Alicia's Response and the Three-Way Conversation
Alicia also denied any flirtation with Adejo during a three-way conversation, stating that there was nothing romantic between them. This joint denial aims to counter the narrative that David Martins presented.
Setting Boundaries After the Controversy
Adejo said he and his wife have since prayed about the situation and established stricter boundaries to prevent their intentions from being misinterpreted in the future. This step is intended to protect their reputations and avoid similar controversies.
The story was shared by Linda Ikeji on her blog, Lindaikejiblog, via an Instagram post. The post included a video of Adejo's explanation and has sparked widespread discussion online.
