The allegations emerged days after Rasheed shared the tragic news of his child’s passing on social media, describing the loss as a tragedy “no parent should experience.”
Claims of Abandonment and Illness
In a video circulating online, the woman claimed that Rasheed abandoned her while she was unwell, leaving her solely responsible for their three children. She said that on October 11, she suffered an accident that affected her legs, rendering her unable to work and care for the family independently.
Disputes Over Housing and Financial Support
The woman alleged that shortly after her accident, the family received a quit notice from their landlord. She claimed that Rasheed asked her to secure a loan to cover rent. According to her, she obtained the funds, but the singer allegedly collected the money and left her and the children without further support.
She further stated that the family was subsequently evicted and had to seek temporary shelter in a church.
Alleged Neglect of Children’s Needs
In addition to housing disputes, the woman accused Rasheed of failing to pay their children’s school fees despite repeated appeals. She said that during this period, their late son fell ill, forcing her to finance his medical treatment through loans and support from well-wishers.
She also claimed that Rasheed has now taken custody of their two surviving children, leaving her without access to them.
Call for Assistance
The woman concluded her public statement by appealing to Nigerians for help, citing her ongoing struggles to care for the family amid personal and financial challenges.
This report presents the allegations made by Rasheed’s wife; the singer has not publicly responded to these claims at the time of publication.
