Popular Nigerian singer, Charles Oputa, well known as Charly Boy, has debunked reports that his marriage to his wife, Diane, has crashed.

Charly Boy, fondly called Area Fada, had in a post on his verified Twitter handle on Tuesday hinted at a possible split from his wife after over 45 years of marriage.

“My People, If I tell una say, after over 45yrs of marriage to my wife, that I am going back to bachelorhood, what would you say?

“I don talk say dis marriage of a thing just no easy. The longer you stay, the harder it gets. What should I do? I tire o,” the famous entertainer had said.

Commenting under his post, another Twitter user, @Po_li_cap_ , advised the singer to try to settle the rift amicably with his wife.

He had replied saying there was no “beef” between himself and his wife, saying he was just tired of the marriage.

However, Charly Boy, in a twist post on his Twitter page on Wednesday, said: “Because of dis my recent post. Some winche pple don begin speculate say my marriage don crash. Abegi o.

“I just dey talk to many pple wey think say marriage shouldn’t feel like work. Or if it feels like work, we are doing it wrong. Lie.

“Like anything else that is rewarding, we have to work at our marriages. And it’s OK if marriage is hard work! It can never be on auto drive,” he wrote in Pidgin.

Charly Boy married Diane, an African-American singer, in 1979.

The couple, however, renewed their vows in 2018.
