Nigerian singer Soty, best known for her hit song “Malaria,” surprised fans with her marriage revelations in a recent interview with Lucky Udu. The singer, whose real name is Sotonye Samuel Horsfall, opened up about her turbulent development in her intimate life.
In 2006 and 2007, Soty made waves in the music industry with her catchy track “Malaria.” This is when her career really took off. The song gained popularity, but its reach was restricted by the lack of social media and streaming services, making it a forgotten gem of the era.
However, Soty’s current rebirth in the spotlight is due to a painful fact she boldly revealed. The singer revealed that her husband, Richie, whom she married in 2017, had abandoned her for a younger lady, seizing their marriage certificate and her life savings. Stranded in a marriage with no legal closure, Soty faces the enormous challenge of pursuing divorce while dealing with the emotional pain of abandonment.
To complicate matters, Soty disclosed that her marriage to Richie had resulted in two children, as well as a child from a previous relationship, for a total of three. As she faces the challenges of single parenthood and financial insecurity, the singer has made a heartfelt appeal to the public for help.
In a touching plea, Soty asked Nigerians to help her financially and emotionally as she seeks closure and freedom from the chains of a marriage that only exists in name. Despite her previous success in the music industry, Soty’s present battle illustrates the harsh reality that many people experience, emphasizing the value of compassion and solidarity during difficult times.
As Soty fearlessly confronts her personal challenges, her tenacity exemplifies the indomitable spirit of the human experience, evoking empathy and togetherness among her admirers and friends.
