Nigerian music artiste , Iceberg Slim , and his new beau , Juliet Ibrahim , are fast worming themselves into the heart of Nigerians , most especially because they are never ashamed to talk about the love they share .
Although ever since their relationship was made public , a few opined that the ace actress from Ghana could have done better with her choice of partner .
This is because some people feel that the actress is richer and older than her sweetheart.
Reacting to such insinuations , the singer said that such comments neither faze him nor his lover.
“ We are actually the same age and she is not taller than me , except when she wears shoes with high heels . I don ’t care if people think she is older than me or she has more money .
A relationship is shared between the two people involved in it so if anybody has anything to say about our relationship , they should feel free , but it does not faze us .
I mean , even Jesus Christ was criticised , so who are we ? Anybody can say anything about us because , at the end of the day, everybody has freedom of speech . Whatever they say does not faze us because we know what we saw in each other . ”
He continued, “I met Juliet Ibrahim in Durban , South Africa about a year and a half ago.
We exchanged contacts and became friends .
Our friendship later grew into an amorous affair and at the end of the day, we just became a happy couple.
The fact that we did not make our relationship a secret by posting our loved – up pictures online is because we are being ourselves .
“ We chose not to follow the African mentality that you must keep your relationship secret because of the society or media .
We are enjoying ourselves and getting to know each other as a couple.
There is no reason why I should hide her; she is celebrating me because I love her and I am doing the same as well . This is not something we should hide .”
Iceberg Slim told Saturday Beats that when he lost his mother early in the year , it was his girlfriend that helped him get back on his feet .
“ This year has been quite rough for me because I lost my mother , but I was still able to release my recent song , Oluwa .
The song and video have been doing very well and I am grateful to God for them. This year has been a roller coaster ride.
“ My girlfriend , Juliet Ibrahim , is my new muse .
She encourages me to be a better person. When I lost my mother , I withdrew into my shell . I began to ponder on a lot of things in life and everything that I was doing .
I began to ask if life was worth living because life is short , but my girlfriend helped me bounce back by putting things into perspective for me .
She advised me to keep making music because that is why people love me ,” he said .
I don’t care what critics say about Juliet Ibrahim –Iceberg Slim
