Nollywood actress Anita Joseph has fired back at her estranged husband, Fisayo Michael Olagunju (popularly known as Real MC Fish), following his public allegations that she engaged in extramarital affairs with prominent men during their marriage.
The social media space erupted into fresh drama on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, when MC Fish waded into the ongoing online uproar surrounding broadcaster Frank Edoho’s marital dispute. In a viral video post, the hype man made a rare and startling confession about his own crashed union, alleging that both he and Anita had cheated while they were together, specifically claiming he caught the actress red-handed in compromising positions with high-profile individuals in society.
Anita Joseph’s Fiery Rebuttal
Refusing to let the narrative slide, Anita Joseph took to her official digital handles on Thursday morning, May 21, 2026, to fiercely defend her character. In a strongly worded response, the movie star completely rejected the allegations, labeling her ex-husband’s claims as malicious fabrications born out of bitter jealousy and an inability to move on.
The actress, who officially confirmed the crash of their five-year marriage in December 2025, accused MC Fish of deliberately trying to tarnish her hard-earned reputation to score cheap internet points amidst another celebrity’s trending scandal.
“It’s funny how a man I walked away from months ago is still looking for any opportunity to drag my name through the mud. I have kept quiet out of maturity, but do not mistake my silence for weakness. I never cheated during our marriage. It is unfortunate that instead of focusing on his new relationship and his career, he is clinging to my wrapper for relevance. This is a closed chapter, and I will not allow anyone to rewrite my history with lies.”

A Bitter Public Unraveling
The public spat marks a stark, sad departure from the couple’s highly publicized romance. Known for years as one of Nollywood’s most expressive and inseparable couples since their wedding in 2020, the union hit a rocky path in late 2025 following underlying rumors of infidelity, financial disputes, and tragic personal losses.
The Breakdown of the Dispute
| Party | Central Arguments & Claims | Current Public Stance |
| MC Fish | Claims mutual infidelity destroyed the home; alleges he personally caught Anita cheating with prominent societal figures. | Insists on “calling a spade a spade” while referencing the Frank Edoho marital fallout. |
| Anita Joseph | Categorically denies all infidelity claims; states she has embraced grace and healing since the December 2025 split. | Warns her ex-husband to keep her name out of his mouth and focus on his growth. |
With MC Fish already moving on publicly with a new fiancée earlier in the year and Anita firmly establishing her space in self-awareness and career growth, fans had expected a peaceful separation. However, this latest exchange has proved that the ashes of their former marriage remain highly volatile, dividing Nigerian pop culture enthusiasts over who is telling the absolute truth.
