I didn’t have kids with Tyna Onwudiwe – Charly Boy
Musician Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, has denied being the father of any of the children of late singer, Tyna Onwudiwe.
The maverick singer, who admitted that he almost got married to the late singer said, “I almost married Tyna [Onwudiwe]. One day, we sat down and talked about it. I said, oh, no, I don’t see myself marrying two wives.
“And by the way, if we get married, we will kill ourselves. Let’s be good friends. And we became the best of all friends. Tyna was such a beautiful soul. She would give her last penny to a stranger. That was who she always was.
“People used to tease me by calling her my wife. They said your wife has cancer. I wanted somebody, a female to help me with that. Because if I was doing it on my own, people will say, of course, is she not your girlfriend? Is she not your wife?
“In fact, some of her kids, people think they’re my kids.”
Charly Boy said he solicited funds for the late singer during her battle with cancer but unfortunately the disease claimed her life.
Tyna Onwudiwe died on June 29, 2001, just 17 days after her 47th birthday.
