"I was not happy at all and that’s why I decided not to carry on. My husband was cheating on me and he had become a drunkard, while I was working so hard and giving the relationship all that I was able to. I am just happy and thank God that I don’t have children with him.” she said in a
But the divorce didn’t come without some drama of its own as her ex-husband decided to tarnish her name by shamelessly spilling their bedroom affairs in public.
“My name is Captain Gardiner G Habash all the way from Clouds FM, Jahazi hatari sana. Na sina neno na yule mtoto wa kike. Nimeshamkojoza kwa miaka kama 15 hivi.”He said with Lady Jay Dee’s song playing in the background. (Translation: My name is Captain Gardiner G Habash all the way from Clouds FM, and I’m a ‘dangerous’ man. I have no problem with my ex JayDee since I’ve already made her cum for 15 years.)
A comment that greatly embarrassed and aggravated Lady JayDee, her fans and even Tanzanian Health Assistant Minister Hamis Kigwanalla who intervened and demand an apology from Gardiner for the offensive remarks.
Addressing her fans, JayDee reflected on what went down in 2016 among them the rude remarks made by Gardiner and rumours that her house was being auctioned.
"Kiukweli Comeback yangu ya 2016 ilikuwa kubwa sana kuliko watu wengi walivyotegemea
Mbali na changamoto ngumu na nyingi nilizowahi kupitia na ninazo endelea kuzipitia kuliko msanii yoyote yule wa kike wala wa kiume Tanzania
Nadiriki kusema bado nimesimama Imara *Kejeli *Dhihaka *Mabezo *Kutengwa
*Story za kusingiziwa ikiwemo kuambiwa nyumba yangu inauzwa sijui inapigwa mnada na mengine yote mnayoyajua ni vitu vinavyo vunja moyo sana Ila Wa Tanzania nina waheshimu sana.
Linapokuja swala la kupigania kitu mnachokipenda .Hivi bila nyie si ningekuwa marehemu???Bila fans JayDee ni nani????Niwashukuru kwa kunisimamisha .Ninawashukuru kwa kuniamini Ninawashukuru kwa kunipa nguvu na jeuri." Part of her post read. (My comeback in 2016 was bigger than people expected due to all the challenges I had to go through as an artiste in Tanzania. I would like to say, I’m still standing strong regardless of the mockery and contempt and the rejection I received last year.
Including the nasty rumours that I have lost my house to auctioneers and others you know about, things which are pretty heart-breaking. Despite all this I respect my fellow Tanzanians because of how hard they fight for things/people they love. Without you I would be dead. Who is JayDee without her fans? I thank you for believing in me, lifting me up and giving me strength when I was weak.)
