Multiple sources have confirmed to NET, exclusively, that singer 9ice and his wife Toni Payne, who got married on Thursday July 17, 2008, are breaking up.
Very reliable sources revealed to us, this afternoon that the couple have agreed ‘to separate for a while’, following ‘irreconcilable differences’.
9ice and Toni are one of our few favourite showbiz couples – the whole industry celebrated their romance and eventual marriage- and it’s a heartbreaking news for the entertainment industry in Nigeria.

Never liked the chick anyway. But it's bad for 9ice, first an album flop then this!
This is so sad. Why dont people stay in love anymore?
@ Truetalk – who are you that u think u got guts not to like someone..I am sure u are a very much single person and maybe angry..m(hey sworn to live together forever…what happened? I am not a good fan of Nigerian Acts..but I am feeling bad that such a young marriage can go down…
epele o. is wandi coal really in d psycho home
Rlly iam sad cos I 4 one like nice cos he's rlly nice
I wish they will settle watever d problem is atleast 4 d sake of their son!
OMG! It's so sad to see my Nigerian pple copying d white. Pls let's try n make our marriages work 4 d sake of pple like us hoping 2 get marrid very soon.
it’s BAD OOOOOOOOOOH u shuld hav tot bout me b4 u guys did dis to me i mean Us anywyz make una fink am well,ya’ll beta get back together b4 i do sumtin
This is clearly an import of the western culture! when did we start having irreconciliable differences leading to marriage breakdown. Please ask your mothers and father..
Its only God can intervain oooooooooooooooo. Cos issue like this is common amont the 9ja celebrities,when we are not white that based their love life on money……….Se bi aye se ri reeeeeeeeeeeeee
Suspected it wld hit d rocks.neways,9ice dnt stop being nice and d album is not a flop!if its nt working,pls stay single.
As a head of a family try as much as u could to make thing work btw u and ur wife
Its sweet to get married.bt d major wahala is staying married.shit hapens.and now dz shit is smelling badly..its so sad.
Ola must b xcited over dis, she had always been competing with him as 9ice's manager….she was never a gd dress which didn't help d musician's bad dress sense. Wande Coal is ok & not in any stupid home.
i hope they work out der differences cz some of us actually believe in '4 beta,4 worse'. Nways,wt eva happens,nice,i gt ur bak
then nice wud av bin a star like his predecessors.it's up 2 him 2 make his marriage work.smtimes,we just av 2 work out from sm relationships but marriage was exepmted from the clause.tell nice 2 walk away from the mistake
Yeah
I bet ola is happy
Some of these comments re funny,these re pple that need our prayers and somone is saying he or she never liked the chick. Mcshewww
U for marry nice na. Anyway. The most important thing is that they find happiness
Na wa oh,9ice try nd do sumfin bout ur marriage so u nd ur wife dnt end up seperating b4 all d single gals starts knockin @ ur door oh,u no wat I mean
Dis is 2 common amng celebrities,y dnt u let urs b different? Its unbelievable dt dis is happening wen their kid is stil yung,dey shld pls reconcile their differences 4 d sake of their kid. I pray God lead them aright. 9ice n payne i LOVE UR union. Its wel.
I dont know whats wrong with people. despite being a celebrity he is just like every one of us. he just got him self a job that brings him a lot of attention who knows which one of you is going to get separated tomorrow at list he had the courage to get married you better check your back yard and let 9ice enjoy his life. For guys that are here you better pray your own last a year and for the girls am very sorry for you i pray some one buy you a ring one day.
Let 9ice be.
Oga 9ice do your life the way you think is good for you. its not my problem.
This is too bad,a marriage which is not up to 2 years has been seperated.But for 9ice he really fuck up.
This is just wacked. I mean what were they thinking before they got married?
dis is bad news …………………..not another Nigerian couple
its soo sad…i dnt even no wot to say..it wasnt a rush,was it?
I STILL FIND IT HARD TO BELIEF………….WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT???? IT MUST BE A RUMOUR.

Cos I dnt kmw why his manager will be happy dat his oga marrige is broken!
YOU CAN’T CHANGE THE PAST,
BUT YOU CAN RUN A PERFECT GOOD PRESENT,
BY WORRYING ABOUT THE FUTURE.

mr________________do be a man
what is wrong with both of you? Had it been I can see you both I will flog you. Do you think marriage is for boys and girls? No, marriage is for matured mind or is it the fame and fortune that is getting into your heads? You better wake up. Nice there is no other woman outside there that is for you than toni ur wife because she is ur better half "wakati wakati loma npe mi" have you forgotten that why so soon, dont allow the devil to have his way in your family, remember your son they said where two elephant fight the grasses always bear the consequence think of this boys future I am begging you for God's sake and you Iyawo you better know what you are doing. If you think you will live your matrimonial home and go else where it is a lie. It is now that you are under a man that people respect you just make a mistake and leave ur husband and you will see how people will begin to mock you and dont you forget that you are the builder of ur home the way you lay your bed that is how you will sleep on it DONT YOU EVER OPT OUT OF THAT MARRIAGE.GIVE WHAT IT TAKES TO SAVE UR HOME.DONT FORGET THE POWER OF PRAYER IT WORKS ALOT.
somebody shd go and tell 9ice to drop dat idea cos is not too late to make tins up wit her. he is too nice a guy 4 a like dis.bobo 9ice don't disappoint us ooooooooooo. take to God.
A marriage counsellor asked the couples to be; this question "what offence do you think your wife/husband will commit and you will find it difficult to forgive her, and many people raised up their hands and said if their wife/husband cheats on them they will not forgive him/her, and the man said that it is perdonable. And he now gave an instance of a house wife that went to next street to steal a cube of maggie and she was beating blue-black and was also naked and everybody saw her including his husband friends and family. It's such a shameful thing.ALL THE SAME LEARN TO FORGIVE AND FORGET
Pls 9nice 4 the sake of your fabulous fans; whom are lookin' forward to see the best in your marriage, pls try and settle things together no matter whatever the problem might be ok! Good luck. From Iyke a.k.a. Apachino. FUT-YOLA.
well,i dont think they understand hat marriage is all about at the first place.God is against it!i pray they dont have themselves to be blame at the end.
9ice does't need to break his marriage bcos he is still a small guy.(star)
It is suprising after a very serious weeding i can never expect this to happen to a person like 9ice
U na b oyibo wey no knw d value of marriage?na 4 beta 4 worse so i advice u mak up dan break up.be nice, 9ice

A GOOD MARRIAGE WOUID BE BETWEEN A BLIND WIFE AND A DEAF HUSBAND.MICHEL DE MONTAIGNE
Nice art, I would thank to writer coz' i have found a lot exciting info. Keep it going! :). Best regards
Now, i think i shd add mine. I got married same yaer as nice and have a son too just like them so i can imagine. many times we have had squabbles that seemed we just needed to call it quits but no way, i prayed even tho at a point my ego would not allow me. somehow we had to compromise. pride is the enemy we need to deal with b4 it deals with us. 9ice, am not really a fan of secular music but was proud when i haerd you wewre married. you have achieved much in your youth esp marriage. see that it works. see no matter what, stand by your wife. no one is perfect. she will respect you even more for that. dont allow anyone come btw you. pple look us to u, dont dash their hopes. dont make fame spoil the great future you have. remember there are perfect marriages,its imperfect pple that there are. forget fame, work on the wife of your youth. and you Toni, humble yourself, whatever happened, tell your husband you are sorry and move on with your marriage so your son does not suffer in his generation as a son from a disjointed home. pls. you can make it work. i could go on. start afresh you too, you can make it work pls. mine is working and i wont trade my man for anything.
and for those who think there are no good ladies out there, i pray you find one that will so disappoint you. i wont say may it be to u as yoou think.
thank you. i could go on and on o
