Lately, actress, Mercy Aigbe has tagged herself with a new alias, 'Aya D Owner' (meaning wife of The Owner). That's the latest adopted name she is been flaunting around, especially on social media. Many (especially her fans and followers) have since been wondering who the supposed 'D'Owner' is, because she has not been stepping out with any known man publicly since her separation from ex-husband, Larry Gentry over four years ago. However tongues have been wagging before now about her romantic relationship with one of the marketers/producers in the Yoruba movie industry.
The famous 'D Owner' is Kazeem Adesoji Adeoti popularly known as Adekaz. He is also the owner of Ibaka TV. Adekaz is known to be married. We scooped from those who are in know that the actress and mother of two and the marketer have have gone far in their romance long before it became known to many. But a few of Mercy's close friends in the industry were aware already.
On the 31st of December, 2021 Adekaz and Mercy had a private Nikkai in Lagos, where she was given a Muslim name; Aminah (which she shortens to Minnah). Only a few people were present at the ceremony. She announced the new name to her followers on social media later that day (which was also around her birthday) with a video of her outfit of the day flaunting her new wedding band. Many of her friends flooded her timelines to congratulate her.
On the 1st January, 2022 at her house at Ogudu in Lagos where she hosted friends and family to soiree, Adekaz was fully on ground and he played the role of a husband diligently. He was up and about, ensuring that guests had a good time. Also, on the 3rd of January, at the New Year dance party headlined by K1 in Lekki, the newlyweds were an item all through the event.
Since she left her ex-hubby, this will be the first time Mercy will be directly linked to a man, although she had been linked with rumoured affaira with some big names. Apart from being an actress Mercy Aigbe is also a successful business owner. Few weeks ago she celebrated her 6th year in the business.
