A British man claiming to be the husband of the late Nigerian musician Goldie Harvey has posted pictures of their wedding sparking a heated debate in the cyberspace.

Goldie, who died on Thursday in Nigeria, was widely known to be the girlfriend of controversial Kenyan musician Prezzo.

But on Friday, Andrew Harvey uploaded 58 pictures of him and Goldie as “Memories of my Darling wife; A few pictures of my Time with Susan (Goldie) Harvey before her untimely passing”.

He says the two held a traditional wedding on December 8, 2005 and a church wedding two days later.

The pictures show Goldie in a wedding gown alongside Mr Harvey. There are also private pictures of the Nigerian as a child.

Mr Harvey blasted Prezzo in a separate posting. “Prezzo, please leave our family to grieve in peace. You have caused enough hurt and pain,” he wrote.

During the recording of Churchill Show last Tuesday, the Kenyan musician had announced plans to meet Goldie on Thursday for a Valentine’s date.

Their relationship started last year when they were housemates in the continent-wide reality show, Big Brother Africa Star Game. They have spent time together since the show ended.

It was not immediately clear why Mr Harvey, now a senior contracts engineer in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, chose to remain quiet all the while.

Prezzo was also married to Daisy Kiplangat but the two have since separated. They have a daughter namedZahrie Bhoke.
