Recall that Israel and his estranged wife, Sheila Courage, made headlines over the weekend after revealing the reasons behind their marriage crash.
Israel took to social media to call out her family, accusing them of pressuring him to pay N1 million for marrying their daughter, who was a virgin.
Sharing a screenshot of a bank transfer receipt via his Instagram page, he wrote in part, “The receipt of [N]1m, part of money sprayed at the wedding. Sheila’s parents held my neck to share with them since their daughter is a virgin. They also compelled me to buy her iPhone 14 Promax [N]1.2m, she’s using.”
He also shared a lengthy post explaining his side of the story and detailing why their marriage fell apart barely seven months after their society wedding in Benin City in October 2022.
He claimed that she dumped him as soon as she became popular on Instagram and accused her and her family of being gold diggers who defrauded him.
However, Sheila went online to counter his accusations, revealing that she left the marriage due to emotional and domestic abuse.
She recounted instances when he locked her out of their matrimonial home over minor issues and warned her against turning on the generator when he wasn’t around.
She also claimed that she encouraged him to start a business venture and ‘build up an empire’ besides working for his boss, Davido, but he refused to heed her advice.
Contrary to Israel’s claims that her family are “gold diggers”, Sheila disclosed that she is from a well-to-do family, adding that her dad and former Edo State governor, Adams Oshiomhole, are “first cousins”.
Despite the messy drama, some women trooped to Israel’s DM to ask him to marry them since his wife is not cooperating with him.
He shared screenshots of the messages and explicitly stated that he is not interested in marrying a ‘church girl’ anymore.
