Charley Boy finally speaks on relationship with Tyna Onwudiwe’s kids

Maverick musician Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charley Boy, has opened up about his close relationship with the late singer Tyna Onwudiwe.

In a candid revelation, Charly Boy shared that he nearly got engaged to Onwudiwe, reflecting on a conversation they had about marriage.

He also addressed long-standing rumors that he is the father of some of Onwudiwe’s children.

Charley Boy recalled their discussion, saying, “I almost married Tyna. One day, we sat down and talked about it. I said, oh, no, I don’t see myself marrying two wives.”

While he did not elaborate on the paternity speculations, his remarks shed light on their deep connection and the decisions that shaped their relationship.

“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.”

Charley Boy mentioned that he raised funds for the late singer during her fight against cancer, but sadly, the illness ultimately took her life.

Tyna Onwudiwe passed away on June 29, 2001, merely 17 days following her 47th birthday.
