Whoever calls me a wife beater should show proof, Ibrahim Chatta blows hot

It is not an exaggeration to say that popular actor Ibrahim Chatta attracts scandals as sugar attracts ants . And to compound issues , the actor hardly debunks most rumours about him .

However , in a recent chat with Saturday Beats, the actor stated that he was aware of all the negative things written about him but never felt it was necessary to speak up . He said that he had always been careful so that his words would not be misconstrued to suit the purpose of some online news outfits .

The versatile artist seemed to have been forced to voice out when he was tagged a wife beater , an appellation which he described as wicked and false.

The thespian said that unknown to many of the authors of the write- ups , he has been denied so many endorsement deals .
The actor further challenged anyone who calls him a wife beater to present a proof which shows him battering his wife .

“ I am aware that if one should search for my name on the internet , most reports that would pop up would be that I am a wife beater but all those things are false . I have just one question to ask the media and public ; if truly I am a wife beater , how come there is no proof or evidence to support that fact ? We are in the age of social media and if truly I am a wife beater , one of my alleged victims ought to have taken to their social media page to post a picture of bruises or a black eye but there is nothing like that . Does it mean that of all the women I had dated and allegedly beaten up , none of them has proof or a scar to show that those stories are true?
“ There were so many speculations when I got married to Salamat who is the daughter of a senator . We parted ways because she admitted to me that she no longer trusted or loved me . I begged her to come back home because I was worried about what my fans and friends would think about me as I am a role model to many . My ex - wife told me that she had been acting all the while we were together as she had stopped loving me since 2012 , shortly after our Nikkah. Despite that , I still begged her to come home because the way Nigerians judge when it comes to marriage , the man is always at fault . The case is normally worse for us actors because they see us as flirts . After pleading with her , I had no choice but to let go and the next thing I heard people say was that her mother came to my house and found it unfit for her daughter to stay .
“ I live in a four bedroomed apartment with two sitting rooms . I have dependants because I like people around me . She knew this about me before we got married and when the rumour mongers realised that their initial rumour did not hold water , they said that I beat her the same way I beat my baby mama . My question has always been this; how rich can I be to beat the daughter of a politician , a senator and I would not have been locked up ? Anyone that claims that I am a wife beater should present proof other than mere hearsay , ” he said .
Chatta said that contrary to rumours that he had got married for more than three times , he said his marriage to his current wife is the second . “ I have only had two marriages . The first was with Salamat and the other I have is with my present wife . I also had a baby with a lady earlier in life . I wish her well most especially because she bore my first child . We maintain a cordial relationship and we are still friends till date . I am not a womaniser or serial lover . The nature of this profession makes it easy for women to flock around us . It has always been like this for us , ” he said .
Chatta who described himself as an emotional person said most of those write -ups make him cry . “ I always feel very bad when I read untrue stories about myself . I used to cry a lot until I had to tell myself that there is really nothing I can do about it . I have decided to let God be the judge . Everything I have done is to make people happy through the roles I interpret ; so it is very sad that people prefer to peddle lies about me . What people read about me most times is false, it is not who I am , ” the actor said .

Hmmmm
