Malaika denies affair with Fathia Balogun

Contrary to rumours making the round, fuji star, Malaika has denied ever dating actress, Fathia Balogun. In an exclusive chat with Skoops, Malaika, who is currently in Saudi Arabia for the lesser hajj, Umra, denied having any romantic feelings for the ex-wife of star actor, Saidi Balogun.

However, the fuji singer described their relationship as platonic and strictly business. “We are very close friends and we have a lot in common but we are not dating. Fathia Balogun is a woman I admire and respect so much. We have been very close friends for quite a while. But I don’t like discussing relationship issues in newspapers because this is a personal issue. However, I reacted just to clear the air,” declared Malaika who recently featured rave-of-the-moment, Olamide in a new track.

Rumours started spreading about an affair a while ago perhaps due to the frequency of their being together. Malaika started singing at age 11 in 1983 and today is one of the most prominent among the younger generation of fuji musicians
