‘Sekem’ crooner, MC Galaxy has disclosed that he would have dated his ‘best friend’ Laura Ikeji if she was not already romantically involved with her husband, Ogbonna Kanu, for a long time.
Rumours of a possible romance between Laura and the singer filtered through social media last year when MC Galaxy gifted Laura N1m. But MC Galaxy says he and Laura never dated because she already had a long time boyfriend.
“Laura had always had a boyfriend for a very long time and I knew but other people did not know about it. Probably if she did not have anyone in her life, I would have asked her out because we really connected and we were best of friends. She is someone I talk to every time and now that she is married, it has not affected our relationship in anyway. Her husband loves me a lot and he attended my album listening party. He came all the way from London to attend my listening party,” he told Punch.
He added that Laura has become more than a friend to him as he now considers her to be his sister. He also said that his career has benefited immensely from her advice.
He said, “There was nothing between Laura Ikeji and I. She is not just my best friend but I refer to her as my sister because she knows about everything that I want to do. If I listen to her advice, everything works out fine and I consult her before I sign some artistes. If she tells me not to do so, I listen to her because she is very intelligent. If she talks to you and you listen, you would make it. The reason my brand is big today is because of Laura. I was not used to granting interviews but she advised me that I need it. I am just lucky and blessed. As a smart guy, if you have such a person as a friend, you have to keep them as friends because the moment you mess it up, things might go sour”.
