Musician Charles Oputa, better known by his stage name Charly Boy, has shared details about his relationship with the late Tyna Onwudiwe.

The Maverick singer revealed that he was on the verge of marrying the deceased musician.

Charly Boy asserted that rumors were circulating that he was the father of Tyna Onwudiwe's children.

He 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,” he recalled.

“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 would 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 stated that he raised money for the deceased singer during her illness, but regrettably, the illness took her life.

Recall that Tyna Onwudiwe passed away on June 29, 2001, barely 17 days after turning 47.
