Nigerian singer, Harrysong has broken his silence following recent allegations by his ex‑wife Alexer Peres amid their ongoing custody dispute over their two young children.
As earlier reported by eelive.ng, Alexer via her Instagram page on Thursday disclosed that she’s giving up custody of their children, aged four and three, citing pressure since their separation.
She said: “This man has not allowed me to rest. He frustrates my efforts. He comes to my house unannounced. He harasses me everywhere. There is nothing he hasn’t been doing but I can’t come online every time to tell you guys this is what I am passing through. At this point, I am tired.”
She added: “I am going to now give him custody, for now. That doesn’t mean I am not going to come back for my children. It is just that I have had enough… I am not doing this because I am weak. I am doing this because I need to live. That is why I am doing this. Please do. Nothing should happen to my children.”
In response, Harrysong said: “I’ve chosen restraint to protect the mother of my children and, most importantly, our kids because what’s said online lives forever.
“I previously made the mistake of speaking from emotion and learnt the hard way.
“I never said she couldn’t have access to them.
Them been in my custody is a decision made for reasons u can’t put out on the internet.
“I’ve remained active, present father and have continued to provide for our children, even while they were in her care.
“The current narrative online is deeply hurtful and risks damaging the very image and career that supports our children. Is it worth it?
“I won’t engage in public back-and-forth that could one day harm them. My focus remains their well-being.”
Harrysong and Alexer married in March 2021 and separated after several years together. Their split has involved public disagreements, and the custody matter remains under discussion.
