Endless speculations have surrounded estranged partners 9ice and Toni Payne. We’ve been besieged by rumours of a reunion, trysts, and all. And early this month, the whole story took a different turn with unconfirmed reports saying Toni Payne was pregnant with a second child for the Alapomeji boss. The couple already have a son Zion from their 2008 marriage before splitting up two years later.
But on Monday, February 13, 2012, 9ice finally cleared the air, publicly denying what had got tongues wagging. ‘Gd aftnun. I shake my head in disbelief. Am sure my true fans won’t believe such news. It is so untrue. I wish u all the best. Tank u 4ur support. God bless‘, 9ice tweeted through his @BASHORUN_9ICE account.
9ice is obviously fed up with the rumours and even though he didn’t call any names out, we’re told the tweet was directed at his ex-wife and those spreading the pregnancy rumours. We’ve reported several times that Toni Payne isn’t over the award winning singer and has made several attempts to reach out to him via E-mails and through mutual friends. She met with him several times last year, proposing a reconciliation. The talks eventually broke down. Ms Payne is constantly on Twitter promoting and supporting her ex-husband’s new albums ‘Bashorun Gaa‘ and ‘Versus‘ and the upcoming March 11 album concert.
But with the Abuja-based Vicky Godis already rearing a set of twins for 9ice, and the musician keen on concentrating on revamping his career and business, it looks a reunion with his ex-wife isn’t much of a priority right now…
Payne herself is getting busy with her online radio as well as promoting new signing Dencia. She recently parted ways with rapper oLamide and singer Zara who were signed under her management outfit Toni Payne Concepts. She didn’t pick our calls or return our text messages asking for comments on this story.

d question is, is tony payne really pregnant? if yes then, judging frm 9ice’s stance, he’s probably not the owner of d pregnancy or it may be dat dey had a one nyt stand during one of tony’s reconciliation trips to his house whc eventually got her pregnant…well, unless on d basis of infidelity whc is d story making d rounds, 9ice hasn’t d right to put away his wife n kid just like dat…afteral, dey aint even divorced yet so she’s still his wife n he doesnt hv d right to go messing around with other ladies…who is he anyway and wat is he feeling like? why is he refusing reconciliation if not that he’s bent on leaving a wayward life! mwwwwwch, oshisco!
You are talking lyk u know everything.9ice himself claimed dat she is still his legal wife in a recent interview do i dont knw why NET brought up this stale news.You cant cum here and behave lyk u knw everything.
Many of u here are saying he should reconcile,can u do it.The woman obviously did sumthing unforgivable beside did she complain dat 9ice isnt paying child support.
9ice should pls, take her back just 4 God’s sake n dat of their son.
my advice 4 9ice z dat he shud pls take her back,since d lady has already beg 4 his 4giveness,also u 2,ve already made a vow on ur wedding day(4 better4 worse)so u2 dont have d right 2 brake wat God has join 2geda.
if yes tony payne is really pregnant then any man may be responsible for it after raw 9nice is not only man in the world.
Toni Payne, has said your news are fake…so you people should stop looking 4 cheap publicity 4 ur site
those that are saying 9ic should take her back are kids, i am sure when u get to a stage of maturity, and then get married and then find someone u love that is suppose to be your compplete messes u big time maybe cut unholy with another dude, then i will see what you will do ..
as far as am concern it is good that they are back if 9c wants to complete this he should now settle with ruggedman as well….
@holaway if dat is what shld b done, den such a man shldn’t even be enterin into marriage cos dey ave no business dere.
why is this Toni Payne news? The girl no fine one bit! obviously fooled 9ice for a while but no more. if she get belle make she talk who give am i beg
9ice bring back ur wife & forget everything that as happen between u & wife ,pls forgive &forget
My own suggestn is dat 9ice shld pls nd 4give her 4 d sake of dere son zion nd also if 9ice shld accept toni payne bck she 2 shld nt do such a tin again,TONI PAYNE my advice 4 u is dat live 9ice alone let him do wat he want cos he is a man nd he can marry as many as possible but alwaz tld him 2 tak care of ur son nd u.
MY OWN SUGGESTN IS DAT 9ICE SHLD PLS 4GIVE HER 4 D SAKE OF DERE SON ZION ND ALSO IF 9ICE SHLD ACCEPT TONI BCK SHE 2 SHLD NT DO SUCH A TIN AGAIN,TONI PAYNE MY ADVICE 4 U IS DAT LIVE 9ICE ALONE LET HIM DO WAT HE WANT 2 DO HE IS A MAN HE CAN MARRY AS MANY AS POSSIBLE BUT U CANT DO IT BUT ALWAZ LET HIM REALIZE HE SHLD ALWAZ TAK CARE OF HIS SON.
4give not all dat tin na bullshit non of u can tk it. haba anoda guy straf ur wife nd u want him 2 4give her I beg its a free world 9ice ma luv u can marry as many as u want or impregnate as many as u want after all u neva reach 2baba. hw re we sure if d child is 4 9ice gon oshisco. 9ice pls concentrate on ur music o if toni is ready she will go bak 2 rugged man. as 4 d pregnancy I biliv she nos berra.
Hey,am jt convnx abt d whole tin.cox nobdy hv d prvld to kn d main story dat btw duo but i pray god shd intv n bringout lit.tanx
Dat one na old story,i dont even want dem back 2geda.she shld jst 4get it n find anoda guy
Let us b frank, no one is sure if d speculation is true we shd not judge harshly, it’s just a song n 9ice had kept mute. I want him 2 clear d air cos d legacy he lives behind is a mark on his son 4 d rest of his life. We are not talking about Toni here but d innocent boy’s reputation b4 his mate later in life. 9ice save ur son
Yes, he kept quiet because silent is the best ans for a fool. Besides, when people are talikng shit about you, don’t give people he room to know whats on your mind by talking too. One thing is clear, she is regretting all she said about 9nice and his family and now he want a gay man back. Rubbish
adigun 4gt dem let dem say wt den wt to say meh lo olowun wi….!
It is good to trust each especially husband and wife.9ice realy care for the lady but the lady did not love him
Let go to main point of 9ice and toni payne. 4 my own advice 9ice shuld neva go to toni payne 4 any 4givenes cos we all Cos if dat gal know what she was doing hw wil she allow any man destroy her marriage. Dat shud nt be possble. Although 9ice luv dis gal. Bt my sugest is she should neva beg her 4 useles tin if she luv u she wil come back 2 u
