The Nollywood actress Mercy Aigbe’s estranged ex-husband, Lanre Gentry, honors their son’s birthday while criticizing his mother for keeping their child away from him.
The businessman took to his Instagram page to post photos of their son, Olajuwon’s birthday, showering him with prayers as he clocks 14.
He emphasized his position as the boy’s father, but he also charged Mercy Aigbe with doing everything within her power to keep him out of the boy’s life.
“Happy birthday to my dear son Olajuwon Gentry,no matter how your mother try to take you away from me, I still remain your father and am happy you are growing up to understand that I remain your father and to come back to me to ask for anything without your mother asking by herself. I cherish you, my son, a long life to you and me as your father,” he wrote.
Many have since criticised Lanre Gentry for his approach, condemning him for using their son’s birthday to diss his ex-wife.
