9ice, Toni Payne and Ruggedman’s rumoured love triangle…
* 9ice (Left), Toni Payne and Ruggedman This started with just a song. After separating from his wife of almost two years in 2010, 9ice, in a song titled ‘Once bitten twice shy’ (the ninth track off his album ’Tradition’), sang about catching his lover giving his friend ‘nodding’ a term often used for oral sex.
This brought about media frenzy and another sex scandal in the Nigerian entertainment industry that can never be forgotten in a hurry.
A deluge of allegations and rumours followed. Ruggedman was featured in the drama, with many alleging that he was the friend mentioned in the song.
Those familiar with the situation continue to allege that Ruggedman had an on-off affair with Payne before and during her relationship with 9ice.
Ruggedman and Payne have since insisted it was false. Though this particular scandal has been forgotten, the true story about the song by 9ice is yet to be known.
Frustrated with the negative publicity which the scandal brought upon her, Toni Payne, via a Facebook post on Tuesday, April 20, 2010, pleaded with 9ice to come out with the truth about his song.
The plea was supported by Ruggedman. ‘#justsayin #FEDup A song I heard n loved months b4 it came out is causin sme minor issues so I will address dis issue by simply stating that its not my job to clear d air but I also think its time the person who sang the song ‘once bitten’ comes out and tells the truth to every1 and let us no who he sang it for,’ Toni Payne wrote on her Facebook wall.
‘TONI PAYNE My advice to you is you get 9ice to step up and clear this thing about this song once and for all so all this bullshit can stop. HE SANG THE SONG,ONLY HE CAN SAY WHO HE WAS TALKING ABOUT IN THE SONG. SO 9ICE WHERE ARE YOU?’ Ruggedman added. Four years later, 9ice where are you?…
