Harrysong 'Secretly Marries' to Niger Delta Ex-beauty Queen? Singer Finally Opens Up on Alleged Wedding

Harrysong and the beauty queen 

Popular Nigerian singer and songwriter, Harrison Tare Okiri, better known by his stage name as Harrysong, who rose to fame after his tribute song to Nelson Mandela won the "Most Downloaded Callertune Award" at The Headies 2013, is trailed with yet another controversy.


Speaking in a telephone chat with Premium Time, the Reggae Blues singer, has reacted to reports making the rounds that he secretly wedded an ex-Most Beautiful Girl in Niger Delta in 2014, Harriet Edide, last year.

LIB had earlier exclusively reported, "According to sources close to the Raggae Blues singer, he quietly married his girlfriend, 2014 Most Beautiful Girl in Niger Delta, Harriet Eddie, sometime last year.

"Like former label mate Kcee, Harrysong thinks being married will chase away his female fans thus his reason for marrying secretly."

The Alterplate artiste, who denied the claims and the viral report which alleged that he had been secretly married for some months now, said; “I never (been) married to the girl in question and I have never been married. It is not something that should be kept secret if I was indeed married.

Yes, Harriet and I dated in the past so she is just my ex-girlfriend.”

When asked why they were no longer together, he said, “I found out that we were both AS so there was no way we could get married. I really looked forward to marrying her when we dated.

"The news of my supposed ‘secret marriage’, which was broken by Linda Ikeji, only happened in her imagination. Doesn’t (it) sound daft that I would opt for a secret marriage? I want my fans to know that I am not married and neither am I in a relationship.”
