Nigerian gospel singer Neon Adejo has publicly denied infidelity allegations made by celebrity photographer David Martins, who accused him of inappropriate conversations with his estranged wife, Alicia. Adejo insists he had no romantic involvement and only stepped in to help Alicia and her son during a difficult period.
How Neon Adejo Got Involved
Responding on his Instagram story, Adejo stated that he had "absolutely no business" with the couple's marital issues, adding that he became involved because he genuinely tried to help someone in need. He said he carried his wife along throughout the process of supporting Alicia, even when he was made to believe certain things were private and needed discretion.
Adejo explained that the situation began one evening in 2025 while he was praying. He claimed he had a sudden impression that Alicia was unhappy, despite not keeping up with her or knowing what was happening in her life at the time. He reached out to both Alicia and David on Instagram to check if everything was fine.
Financial Support and Accommodation
His involvement later became more practical as he helped Alicia and her son, Noah, with hospital bills, food, and other basic needs. He also took her shopping and helped secure an Airbnb in Lekki Phase 1 for a month after she had nowhere to stay. The accommodation cost N270,000 per night, and Adejo insisted his actions came from a desire to protect Alicia and her son, not romantic interest.
"I have a son of my own. I cannot imagine watching my brother's son struggle and simply looking away. I wasn't trying to be a hero. I was simply doing what I believed was right at the time," he said.
Painful Lesson Learned
Adejo revealed that the controversy has taught him a painful lesson about helping people. He said he was shocked to discover that conversations and messages from someone he and his wife deliberately chose to help were recorded and shared with the very person she had described to him in completely different terms.
"This experience has taught me a painful lesson: good intentions do not always mean you are dealing with people who have good intentions toward you. Going forward, I will be extremely careful about getting involved in marital or personal matters, no matter how heartbreaking the story may sound," he said.
He also spoke to his pastor and reached out to Alicia before addressing David directly. He maintained that there was no justification for violence in a marriage and urged David to take accountability. "I have no interest in becoming part of the conflict between you and your wife. I simply refuse to stand by and pretend that violence is acceptable," he added.
David had earlier broken his silence on the marital crisis, claiming Alicia was unfaithful and alleging he discovered inappropriate conversations between her and Neon. He shared screenshots of the alleged exchanges. The controversy came days after Alicia publicly accused David of abuse during their marriage.
