9ice settles tiff with Tony Payne, Ruggedman! Apologises to media


The 36th birthday celebration of Abolore Adegbola Adigun, a.k.a 9ice, and also the owner of the Alapomeji Ancestral Records (AAR), held last Sunday at Club Rumors, GRA, Ikeja, Lagos.

At the bash, the artiste revealed that he is now a more matured person and used the ocassion to apologise to whoever he had offended over the years, especially his friend, Ruggedman and also the press.


9ice, who did not leave out the mother of his first son, Tony Payne, among those he amicably resolved issues with, stated that he and his former wife have both come together as one because they both have a child to raise.

For the first time in five years, 9ice debunked the widely spread news alleging that Ruggedman had an affair with Payne, saying that it was not true, just as he confessed that the whole issue got out of hand before he could handle the situation and Ruggedman had to protect his image in the matter.

“I had recorded the song before the incident and my conversation with him when the issue was tensed was off record. But before I knew it, the whole thing was all over the paper. Anyway, this has become history.

Payne and I have forgiven each other. And as for Michael Stephens, Ruggedman, we are good friends, even before now. I am even putting on one of the wears from his fashion outfit,” 9ice told guests and well wishers.

He also expressed his apologies to the press, especially the way he reacted to media reports on his spat with Ruggedman. "Forgive me for my sins. I am matured now and I appreciate you all for your esteemed support over the years, especially during the last general election.”

Mayor Akinpelu said 9ice was his favourite artiste and still remains so, especially with his lyrics among other artistes. “9ice, Reminisce and Olamide have made people realise that Yoruba Language is the language of the gods.”

Seye Kehinde also described 9ice as an asset and a force to reckon with in the Nigerian entertainment industry.   

The birthday, tagged “9ice wine and dine with Press” was attended by Bash, Anthony Anifite and Puffy T, among others.
