Published on September 24, 2019, Tanzanian musician Ali Kiba confirmed that he and his wife, Amina, had separated.
According to Kiba, his mother had helped bring them back together after a disagreement, and he praised her for her wisdom in marriage.
However, the couple's marriage was marred by allegations of witchcraft, which Kiba strongly denied.
"It's not true what they said that Amina doesn't like people. There are other things that made me really upset that my wife is using witchcraft on my son Sameer. That shocked me," Kiba said.
He also addressed rumors that he was planning to leave his wife for another woman, stating that as a Muslim, he is allowed to marry up to four women.
"When my wife disappoints me and I decide to leave her, it's normal. As a Muslim, I'm allowed to marry even four of them. If I say I will leave my wife today, tomorrow I'm getting married," Kiba said.
Despite the rumors and allegations, Kiba maintained that he is not a publicity stunt person and that his personal life is genuine.
