Media personality and rapper Olamide’s Baby Mama, Maria Okan, has dismissed rumours that she was offered money to terminate her pregnancy.
She made the statement on her Twitter handle (@MariaOkan).
“Good morning I was never OFFERED, I never ASKED, nor did I RECEIVE money to murder a child. I heard that story for the 1st time when you all did – when I was 8 months pregnant. You say I made the wrong choice to carry life, and I should’ve opted for murder? Pele. I love motherhood,” she tweeted.
“At the time those nonsense stories came out, I chose to focus on delivering my child since I had a high-risk pregnancy and a fibroid that practically exploded a few months in. But as she is safe and sound now, there’s no pressure. We thank God.”
“And for the record, no one gave me any stinking money for an abortion. As a mother, when you carry a child and deliver her by the Grace of God, you will know how insulting this is and has been.”
Okan’s pregnancy following an affair with rapper Olamide, broke the internet in 2019.
The MTV Shuga actress and then Beat FM OAP, had entered into a romantic relationship with Olamide with the belief that he was single and separated from his baby mama.
“Olamide told her he was single, that’s why she began a relationship. They loved each other,” one source told Pulse Nigeria at the time.
However, the love affair hit the rocks when Maria found out that the YBNL boss was still with his baby mama and long-time partner.
According to reports, the actress fled the country while she was pregnant.
In 2020, Okan celebrated her daughter’s birthday in grand style.
