Who is Gbemi? 7 things to know about MC Fish’s new lover amid her clash with Anita Joseph

Gbemso, popularly known as Gbemi, has become a familiar name in Nigerian entertainment circles since her relationship with hype man and comedian Fisayo “MC Fish” Michael became public in early 2026.

While much of the attention around her has been linked to MC Fish’s separation from Nollywood actress Anita Joseph, Gbemi has also built a public identity of her own as a social media personality and entrepreneur.

Her relationship with MC Fish has also placed her in a series of exchanges with Anita and, in July 2026, even resulted in a legal warning from Anita’s lawyers.

Here are seven things to know about the woman who has become the centre of MC Fish’s new love story and the drama surrounding his past marriage.

1. Her full name is Dacosta Gbemisola

Gbemisola Dacosta is popularly known online as Gbemso, although reports have also referred to her simply as Gbemi. Her public profile describes her as a “Public figure” and “Brand Builder” with an interest in “brands, culture & experiences.” She is also MC Fish’s manager.

Asides being MC Fish’s girlfriend, she has a business and entertainment interests of her own.

2. She runs Cruise Catchers, a party and entertainment brand

One of the businesses associated with Gbemi is Cruise Catchers, a party and entertainment service. The business gives an idea of Gbemi’s place within the entertainment and lifestyle space, particularly her interest in events, parties and experiences.

3. She and MC Fish went public in February 2026

Gbemi and MC Fish became publicly linked in February 2026, a few months after MC Fish and Anita Joseph confirmed that their marriage had ended.

Anita and MC Fish got married in 2020, but Anita confirmed their separation in December 2025. MC Fish later gave his own account of the breakdown of the marriage, saying in May 2026 that infidelity had occurred on both sides.

MC Fish also said he had left the marital home in July 2025, months before Anita publicly confirmed the separation in December. The timing of MC Fish’s new relationship quickly drew attention, with some netizens accusing Gbemi of being responsible for the end of his marriage. She denied the allegations.

4. She denied breaking up MC Fish’s marriage

As criticism grew after she and MC Fish went public, Gbemi pushed back against claims that she was a “home-wrecker.” She maintained that she met MC Fish when he was already single and did not break up his marriage.

This denial has remained an important part of how she has defended her relationship, particularly because her romance with MC Fish began so soon after the public confirmation of his separation.

MC Fish has also said that he had already moved out of the marital home in July 2025 and had moved on before Anita announced the separation in December.

5. She has embraced being MC Fish’s woman

Gbemi has not tried to keep her relationship with MC Fish private. Instead, she regularly shares loved-up pictures and messages about him, making it clear that she sees herself as an important part of his life.

Her social media branding has also included the name A.Y.A_F.I.S.H, which means “Fish’s wife” in Yoruba language.

She has similarly embraced the nickname “Asa Fish,” further showing how openly she identifies with her relationship with MC Fish. Her posts have therefore gone beyond simply confirming that they are dating. They have presented the relationship as something she expects to last.

6. She recently hinted at marriage with MC Fish

On September 23, 2026, Gbemi sparked another round of reactions when she shared loved-up pictures with MC Fish and spoke openly about the possibility of a lasting relationship.

She wrote:

“So marriage sweet like this, na only the bad side Una go dey promote.”

She also addressed MC Fish as “Bobo” and added:

“I just want to be your partner forever, gosh.”

The post immediately drew attention, with some netizens bringing up Anita Joseph and comparing the two women. Others focused on Gbemi’s apparent excitement about her relationship with MC Fish.

While the post fuelled speculation about marriage, Gbemi did not announce that she and MC Fish had married. Her words were a statement about wanting to remain his partner.

7. Her relationship with MC Fish has brought her into conflict with Anita Joseph

The most controversial part of Gbemi’s rise to public attention has been her exchanges with MC Fish’s estranged wife, Anita Joseph.
In June 2026, Gbemi shared a cryptic Instagram post about an unnamed person repeatedly checking MC Fish’s Snapchat stories around midnight.

She wrote:

“Minding your business but every midnight you go dey him Snapchat dey peep. Wonder why we can’t practice what we preach.”

Gbemi did not name the person, although netizens speculated about who she was referring to. The situation later escalated.

In July 2026, Anita’s lawyer sent Gbemi a cease-and-desist letter accusing her of trolling Anita online and making allegedly defamatory statements about her. The letter warned that continued comments could lead to legal action. Gbemi responded by challenging the legal warning, saying:

“We know the law. This isn’t African Magic.”

She argued that a restraining order or injunction could only be issued by a court, not simply by a lawyer or the Nigerian Bar Association.

The exchange added another layer to what had already become a closely watched social-media story involving MC Fish, Anita and his new partner.

Conclusion

Gbemi’s emergence in the public eye has been closely tied to MC Fish, but her social media presence and business interests show that there is more to her public profile than being the hypeman’s new partner.

She has presented herself as an entrepreneur, brand builder and entertainment personality while openly documenting her relationship with MC Fish.

At the same time, the timing of the relationship and her increasingly public exchanges around his former marriage have kept her in the middle of an ongoing entertainment conversation.

For now, Gbemi appears determined to own her place in MC Fish’s new chapter and, judging by her recent posts, she has no plans to keep that relationship out of the public eye.
