Fathia Finally Drops the Name 'Balogun'

The much talked about surname controversy between separated nollywood couple Saidi and Fathia Balogun seem to have come to an end.


Though she later, claims she hasn't dropped her ex-husband’s name Balogun, although, the name on her Instagram handle clearly shows a reversal to her family name, 'Williams'.

She made the step in the final quarter of 2013 but her family name seems to have stuck as she now officially uses Faithia Williams.

In confirmation to that, while introducing her at the K1 Unusual Live Concert, the fuji maestro K1 identified her as ‘Fathia Williams’. Since it became known that she changed her name, Fathia activated Privacy on her Instagram account.

Her ex-hubby, Saidi Balogun had also claimed that only two of Fathia Balogun’s three children are actually his, explaining that Fathia’s first child is from a different man.

'To set the record straight, Fathia and I had TWO children together NOT THREE. Fathia’s first child is from a different husband that she later divorced before we were married’, he said.
