I never said my ex-wife married me for money – Julius Agwu debunks claim

Veteran comedian and actor Julius Agwu has refuted claims that he suggested his estranged wife, Ibiere Maclayton, married him for financial reasons.

Some media outlets had reported that he hinted at this in a recent interview. Nevertheless, during an Instagram live conversation with media personality Daddy Freeze, Julius Agwu firmly denied making such a statement.

Daddy Freeze: “They said you said your wife, IB, married you because of money. Please, address that.”

Julius Agwu: “I was interviewed by The Punch. I never said anything like that. I saw that thing recently, Segun Arinze sent it to me.

“I can never debase myself like that. My former wife never married me for any money. And Julius Agwu never said that. She is the mother of my children. I can never say something like that about her.”
