“I Was Never Married To Queen Ure, Media Lied.” -Soul E
A few days after his alleged ex-wife, Oueen Ure took to social media and opened up about how her second marriage ended (Read here), Emmanuel Okosi, AKA Soul E Baba has come out to say he was never legally married to her.
Speaking with The Punch, the singer-turned cleric explained that though they were in love when they were together, they were never legally married.
He said:
“We were making preparations for marriage, but it didn’t work out. She was just my girlfriend at a time; so I don’t understand why people keep saying that I have been married two times. If anyone thinks we were married, the person needs to tell me the church or court that conducted the marriage. I was tired of the situation I found myself in and I kept quiet because I didn’t want to prolong the issue. I saw that everything I did was always connected to Queen Ure. Every artiste has their personal lives and every artiste has made one mistake or the other. If people want to talk about Soul E, they should talk about me as a person. It is annoying when people say I was once married to Queen Ure.”
He however admitted that they were once crazily in love.

“In every relationship, there are always ups and downs. Ure is not a bad woman; I respect her and I don’t see her as an enemy. But for some reasons, things didn’t work out between us and we went our separate ways. I am happily married now, but I have decided to keep it private after my last experience. I dated Queen Ure and we even lived together. Yes, we were crazily in love and wore rings, but we were never married.”
He added:
“I was wrongly dented because I refused to talk; so, I decided to concentrate on my spiritual life. Ninety per cent of the things said about me were lies. I am just a victim of circumstances.”
