Gentry, Mercy Aigbe’s ex-husband said he does not need a DNA to know his child because they have a birthmark, which distinguishes them

Mercy Aigbe’s ex-husband, Lanre Gentry has blamed Funso, the first wife of the popular movie marketer, Kazeem Adeoti better known as Adekaz, for letting his ex-wife wreck her marriage.
He made this known during an interview with Punch, where he argued that her quest to become friends with Nollywood celebs cost her her marriage
He said, “I do not blame Mercy. The blame should be on Adeoti’s first wife for bringing Mercy into her family. People like Funso who love to follow actresses (about) in a bid to make friends with them need to be very careful.
“It is dangerous to bring a person whom you do not know into your home simply because the person is a celebrity.”

He went on to corroborate Funso’s claims that Mercy Aigbe knew her husband through her and that she was the one who invited him and the actress to her husband’s 40th birthday.
He, however, said contrary to Funso’s insinuation that the actress started sleeping with her husband after his son turned 5 months, they began a year after he was born and they were meeting in his office and home.
Gentry added, “She (Funso) was the one who invited Mercy and I to her husband’s 40th birthday celebration some years back. Mercy Aigbe knows within herself that what she did to Funso and her family is very bad. It was Mercy that told me her friend was organizing a surprise birthday for her husband and we were invited.
“Unlike what many are saying, my son, Olanrewaju, was not five months old at the time, he was over a year old. We attended the event, and that was the first time I met Adeoti and his wife. Funso, who was Mercy’s friend at the time, introduced Adeoti to Mercy and I.
“After that, Adeoti used to come to my home, office, and hotel. Mercy later told me they were working together and that he was her marketer. I was 100 percent sure that Mercy and Adeoti were seeing (dating) each other, and I used to tell her that what she was doing was very bad.
” I am a socialite, and I definitely know when something (intimate) is going on between a man and a woman. I really don’t want to be involved in this issue because I have remarried, and I respect my (new) wife. People should learn to handle their homes properly and stay away from strange friends.”
Speaking about his new marriage, he said he now has a child with his new wife and that he does not need DNA to know Mercy’s son is his, because children born in his family have a certain birthmark, which distinguishes them.
“I said I was going to get married last year and I did. We did our traditional and court wedding on September 11, 2021. We now have a baby girl and she looks very much like Olajuwon, whom some have claimed may not be my biological son.
“A man who was sneaking to have sexual intercourse with another man’s wife cannot have the guts to request for a DNA test. Children born in my family have a certain birthmark, and Juwon and my daughter have it,” he concluded.
