Real reason I married Mercy Aigbe – Kazim Adeoti opens up on marriage

Months after their controversial wedding, Nigerian movie marketer, Kazim Adeoti, has revealed why he married ace actress, Mercy Aigbe.

Adeoti who graced the front cover of the March 2022 issue of Media Room Hub magazine, with his wife, disclosed that he and Mercy had been business partners for 10 years, and he had always noticed something special about her.

“Mercy has always been a business partner and I’ve always seen something very special. The first thing that got me attracted to her was that she was very open and truthful to me from the first transaction we had together,” Adeoti said.

He revealed that when he gave her money for movie production, the actress returned some part of the money that remained after the production. Adeoti noted that he had never experienced such in his dealing with movie production.

The movie marketer also noted that he advised Mercy against leaving her first “abusive” marriage with her former husband, Lanre Gentry.

According to Kazim, the actress wasn’t happy with his advice and that slowed their business relationship.

However, they reconnected after a very successful movie produced by Aigbe, which she sold to Adeoti.

After the success of the movie, Adeoti said he gave Aigbe some money and invited her for dinner; an act that rekindled their relationship and eventually led to their marriage.

He also posited that he was never friends with Lanre Gentry though they knew each other before the recent marriage.
