Daddy Freeze opens up on broken marriage, struggle with kids

Popular media personality Daddy Freeze has spoken candidly about the toll his failed marriage took on his life, including a strained relationship with his children that has lasted for years.

Speaking in an interview with media host Chude Jideonwo, Freeze recalled marrying his ex-wife because she was pregnant, admitting that the union was troubled from the start.

“The marriage broke me. It was two damaged people in a union and when it ended, it cost me jobs, it kept me from my children, and it left me so broken that even the few jobs I got, I could not do them well,” he said.

He also revealed how financial struggles worsened the situation. “I remember being so broke that I could not even afford N10,000 to buy cake for my daughter’s birthday,” Freeze noted, adding that his children came to view him as “the devil.”

Reflecting on the past decade, he described the pain of limited contact with his kids. “The last time I saw them, it was just five minutes, supervised,” he said. “Am I a murderer?”

Freeze, however, highlighted a more stable phase in his present marriage, stressing that he has never raised his hand against his wife.

Beyond family, the broadcaster also addressed his views on religion, faith and prosperity preaching, reiterating controversial positions he has often taken about Christianity.
