Nigerians have taken to several online platforms to slam popular gospel singer, Lanre Teriba, fondly known as Atorise, as his baby mamas have taken to social media to allege the singer neglects his children.
According to the baby mamas, the singer does not pay for his children’s school fees. One also claimed that the singer infected her with sexually transmitted diseases. They also shared screenshots to prove their claims.
Their claims have elicited anger from Nigerians who have said the singer ought to cater for his family.
One of his baby mamas, via her social media, Natteelashes_, account, wrote in part, “@jidesanwoolu, Dear governor sir, it is time you make it a criminal offence when a father denies a child access to education for no reason; cause because of fathers like Lanre Teriba Atorise, some kids have become armed robbers and prostitutes and that is what is spoiling the country the more. He is bent at blaming the government at everything on his musical videos while he goes about lying to ladies that he is no more with his first wife and put them in the family way, abuse them, neglect them and block every access of them making it in life.” (sic).
She further claimed that the singer once seized her passport and refused to pay their child’s school fees, thus, she had to borrow money from her friend for her child to attend school.
The young lady noted that she has spoken to the singer in private but he has turned a deaf ear on her. More so, she claimed the gospel artiste gave her sexually transmitted diseases.
Another lady via her Facebook account, Diamond Gold, also claimed to be Lanre Teriba’s baby mama. Gold also alleged that the singer had neglected their children, stating that he lives a fake life.
She wrote in part. “Have been silent for so long but I wouldn’t allow you destroy the future of my kids… yes. This man came into my life with all righteousness… Lanre Teriba Atorise the father of my kids is so irresponsible and lives fake life.
“I have been suffering with a rich man for seven years cause I just don’t understand how God created me cause all my life I have been faithful to this fool… I took him to social welfare when the relationship wasn’t working with my mental state anymore… I am here to beg all his fans and people connected to him here to beg him to pay the kids school fees and stop living a fake life.” (sic)
The ladies’ allegations have sparked reactions online as many wonder why a gospel singer would have baby mamas.
An Instagram user, Nene_george, queried, “How you call yourself a gospel singer and yet be donating sperms everywhere?? What example are you showing in the house of God??”
Another person, Officialomayoza, commented via her Instagram account, “Gospel singer’s baby mama sound like a stain!”
