Shortly after the unveiling, the actress was in the public eye after Kazeem’s first wife accussed her of snatching her husband.
Kazeem, however, defended his decision to marry a second wife.
He said Islam permits polygamy as long as the husband can take care of his wives and does not maltreat them.
He added that his first wife had relocated permanently to the United States, leaving him with no choice.
“It is understandable that my first wife is unhappy about getting a second wife but she gave me no choice when she relocated permanently to the US,” he had said.
