Kcee, whose real name is Kingsley Okonkwo, said the relationship with Ebube Nwagbo dominated newspaper headlines at the time, and they were often seen attending red carpet events together, sitting in the front row.

While choosing not to name all the actresses he dated, Kcee confirmed that his romance with Ebube was highly publicized.
“Our relationship was everywhere; Ebube Nwagbo. We were always on the front covers of newspapers. And we usually sat on the front row of every red carpet show.
“We were close to getting married. Whatever that happened, happened,” he added, without going into further details.
Kcee is now married to Ijeoma Okonkwo, and the couple tied the knot in 2010. They currently have two children.
