The recent launch of the much-anticipated 15-track album of Ure Okezie on 29th December 2012 continues to generate discussions in the industry not exactly for the content of the album but for the decision to completely avoid mentioning her former husband’s name at the event.

Ure, better known as Queen Ure, and Soul E (real name, Emmanuel Ifechukwude Okose) were married for approximately one year until the marriage collapse, as had been widely predicted on account of Soul E being 12 and a half years younger.

The last child and only daughter of respected Second Republic two-time minister and medical practitioner, Late Dr. J.O.J Okezie, had been announcing the impending launch of the album, titled, Porpori, since the opening weeks of last year.

And when the album was finally launched in December 2012, Queen Ure made sure to obliterate any mention of Soul E at the event, including in the reading of her citation.

According to her citation, she graduated from the University of Jos with a B.Sc. in Physics, after which she worked in five commercial banks and a mortgage bank. She also described herself as a personal coach and trainer, who has established a church and a foundation. But she avoided Soul E altogether, snubbing her marriage to him or his influence on her music.

Since breaking up with Soul E, Ure has described her venture into music as her “new love for now.” Soul E, meanwhile, was reported to have married Abuja-based banker, Petula Delinda but he then denied it. He has also denied ever marrying Ure albeit he admitted both of them were in love “at that time.”
