It has been gathered that before he slumped and died while training with his team mates in China, Ivorain Footballer Cheick Tiote’s wives and mistresses were fighting over him.
According
to a viral report, the trouble in Tiote’s home was ignited when the
footballer who is married in the UK to a woman named Madah with two
children, traveled to his native Cote’Ivoire and married another wife
named Doukrou Laeticia. He also had a child with a mistress named
Nkosiphile Mpofu.
An according to sources, these three women plus some more have been battling over Cheick Tiote.
Here’s the 2014 report culled from Daily Mail;
“A married
Premier League footballer who already has three children by his wife and
mistress has just taken a second bride in his native Cote’Ivoire
(pictured with second wife, Doukrou Laeticia ).
Cheick
Tiote, 28, who earns £45,000 a week playing for Newcastle United,
reportedly wed Laeticia Doukrou in a traditional ceremony earlier this
month, saying taking another wife was ‘nothing unusual’ given he is a
Muslim.
But
news of the second wedding came as a surprise to his first wife, Madah,
25, who is said to have only found out about it on Facebook. Madah, who
lives with Tiote and their two children in a £1.5m house in a village
outside Newcastle, reportedly fainted with shock when she saw the
photographs of her husband marrying another woman.
Meanwhile
the midfielder also has a one-year-old child with mistress, 33-year-old
Zimbabwean Nkosiphile Mpofu, known as Nikki. (pictured above).
His agent today confirmed reports he had got married for a second time.
Jean
Musampa said: ‘I can say that he did get married and that it is his
second marriage. This is nothing unusual. He is a Muslim.’
The
footballer, who can have four wives under Islamic law, is also said to
have insisted to friends that having several partners is commonplace in
his native Ivory Coast.
A source told The Sun:
‘He doesn’t see a problem with having two wives. It’s perfectly
acceptable in his culture. He doesn’t see he has done anything wrong and
doesn’t know what the fuss is all about.’
But his first wife, Madah, is said to have felt rather differently.
According to Ivorian news website iMatin, Madah wasn’t aware of her husband taking a second wife, and found out about it through social media.
They
reported that she fainted when she saw the photos of her husband
marrying another woman – whose name she did not know – on Facebook.
The
first Mrs Tiote (pictured above with the footballer) is now said to
have forgiven her husband, but his 33-year-old Zimbabwean mistress, Ms
Mpofu, is believed to have recently ended her three-year affair with the
footballer after he allegedly promised to make her his wife.
While
she was said to have been ‘comfortable’ with his being married, she
apparently decided to call the relationship off because he ‘used me like
a mop’.
Ms
Mpofu was pictured earlier this week leaving a Waitrose store in the
village where Tiote lives with his family, with her son by the
footballer, Rafael.
Newcastle United was not available for comment.
Tiote received interest from Lokomotiv Moscow during the summer and was thought to be keen on a move to Russia.
He remained on Tyneside after Lokomotiv failed to make an acceptable offer, but his contract is set to expire in 2016.
