Sunmbo Adeoye, wife of Pastor David Adeoye, has opened up about her past relationship with music icon 2Baba, describing it as a defining season that shaped her faith, purpose and personal growth.
Speaking during an interview with Morayo Afolabi-Brown on her talk show, Adeoye said the experience taught her that mistakes do not define destiny.
“That season taught me that God has a plan for everyone, but I chose not to equate a bad decision with a bad life,” she said.
The former partner of Nigerian music star 2Baba explained that her transformation began when she gained clarity about her purpose.
“When you understand purpose, your pain will have meaning,” she added.
Adeoye also described her marriage to Pastor David Adeoye as divinely orchestrated, calling her husband “my divine compensation.”
“It is the grace of God that allows it to outlast the gossip,” she said, noting that surrendering to God marked a turning point in her journey. “I threw away the Google Map and said, ‘God, just navigate my journey the way you want it to be.’”
Addressing public criticism and its impact on her ministry, Adeoye admitted that it was painful when some members left the church because of her past.
“People left the church, and it hurt, not because of reputation, but because leadership carries responsibilities,” she said.
However, she added that she has learned to release people who are not meant to remain in her future.
“Because people have a major role in your past does not mean God permits them in your future… we allowed them to go, but some have returned and we’ve received them with open hands.”
