Reporting by Daily Post Nigeria indicates a deepening rift between Nollywood actress Anita Joseph and her husband, MC Fish, following a series of pointed social media posts. The controversy began when MC Fish shared details about their initial meeting, leading Anita to respond that she does not wish to ‘run in the mud’ with her estranged partner.
The public back-and-forth has captivated followers on Instagram, where the couple was previously known for their frequent displays of affection. MC Fish’s comments suggested that Anita ‘approached him first,’ a claim that seemed to trigger the actress’s defensive response. The tension follows months of speculation as fans noticed a significant decrease in their joint digital appearances.
Confirmation of the friction appeared in Vanguard and Premium Times. Vanguard reported that ‘the marriage appears to be on the rocks as both parties trade words,’ while Premium Times quoted a close associate who said, ‘They are currently giving each other space to figure out the next steps.’
Echotitbits take: High-profile Nollywood marriages often play out like the movies themselves, and the ‘unfollowing’ and ‘deleting’ cycle is usually the first sign of a legal separation. While neither has used the word ‘divorce’ explicitly, the shift from ‘couple goals’ to ‘public shade’ is a classic indicator. Watch their Instagram bios; if the surnames start disappearing, the split is likely final.
