Nigerian singer Harrysong has once again ignited public debate by making a bold, unapologetic statement about his personal life and stance on polygamy.
In a recent Instagram post, the artist openly declared his support for polygamy, unapologetically saying, “Not sorry, I’m polygamous. Life should be happiness, freedom, and support.”
His comment quickly caught fire online, drawing both support and criticism. The timing of this declaration comes just months after his public split with his wife, Alexer. Their marital issues had already sparked widespread discussion in late 2023.
Fallout from a broken marriage
The breakdown of Harrysong’s marriage was messy and very public. He had accused Alexer of cheating on him—claims that shocked fans and divided public opinion. According to Harrysong, Alexer was unfaithful both before and during their marriage. He even alleged that she became pregnant by another man while they were still together.
In response, Alexer posted an emotional video, denying all the accusations. She stayed calm but firm. In her words, she painted a different picture of their marriage. She claimed Harrysong was emotionally abusive, manipulative, and often unfaithful. Her side of the story gained traction, especially among those who believed she had kept quiet for too long.
Public drama and private pain
This exchange between the former couple lit up social media. Some fans supported Harrysong, praising him for speaking his truth. Others felt his posts were too personal and too public. Many also questioned his timing—why speak up now, months after the breakup?
His recent statement on polygamy added more fuel to the fire. Critics say he is intentionally drawing attention to himself. Supporters, on the other hand, argue that he has the right to live his life the way he chooses.
Still, the conversation has taken on a life of its own. People from all walks of life have weighed in. While some agree with his beliefs, others see it as a way to stay in the spotlight.
Social media reactions: Mixed and loud
Reactions on Instagram have been swift and intense. Some users saw his statement as attention-seeking. One user, @realeffixzzyboss, wrote, “You dey find trouble.” Others were more disappointed. @_simifanpage commented, “I love this song, but this your stand is not good.”
But not everyone disagreed. @iidasophiasceo offered support, saying, “We’re all polygamous by nature. Monogamy is religiously man-made.” Yet, others remained unimpressed. @liberaltv responded, “This is not good at all, coming from you.”
These reactions show how deeply personal choices can divide public opinion, especially when shared by celebrities with wide reach.
Polygamy in the spotlight
Harrysong’s statement has revived ongoing debates around marriage, monogamy, and societal expectations in Nigeria. In many parts of the country, polygamy is legal and even common. However, the modern view—especially online—is more critical. People expect transparency, respect, and emotional safety in relationships.
By choosing to speak so publicly, Harrysong has positioned himself in the middle of a larger conversation. Whether he wanted that or not, the attention is now firmly on him.
What’s next for Harrysong?
Despite the backlash, Harrysong has not backed down. His message was clear, and he seems to be standing by it. Whether this is a personal revelation or a calculated move to remain in the public eye remains unclear.
What is certain, though, is that the singer has again placed himself at the center of national conversation—not just about music, but about love, trust, and the evolving shape of relationships in today’s society.
As the dust settles, one thing is clear: Harrysong is not afraid to live his truth, no matter how controversial it may be.
