The Mavin Records singer recently hinted on a possible reconciliation with her estranged husband during a chat on BeatFM’s ‘The Midday Show’ when she spoke about gender equality, saying: I don’t think men and women are equal.”

When asked about the status of her marriage, she said: “We are doing what we are doing privately and it’s going to stay private.”
