Gospel singer Deitrick Haddon confirms what many have speculated. Deitrick is officially divorced from fellow Gospel singer Damita. This ends 15 years of marriage.
Speculation began industry-wide when Damita dropped the last name Haddon from all of her promotions. Deitrick Haddon recently took to twitter acknowledging the divorce, but made clear that the separation was not recent.
“Our break up is NOT recent, it’s been well over a year process,” says Haddon.
The announcement comes at a time where both Deitrick and Damita are extremely busy. Deitrick just released a movie and soundtrack called ‘A Beautiful Soul,’ and Damita’s new CD was recently released. Even though the couple is no longer together, they still seem to be supportive of one another. In the same series of tweets, (shown below) Deitrick says, “Since Damita and I may end up in many conversations.. While You’re talking go and support Damita’s new CD. It is absolutely amazing.”
For years, Deitrick and Damita were un-separable. At the height of Deitrick’s budding career he would always interview and include Damita. As Damita became a brand herself, the two formed a Gospel power-couple, with a unique ability to inspire the youth and minister to the saints.
After a year long separation and divorce process, it’s refreshing to find out that things didn’t get messy in the media. Hopefully it will stay that way.
“Ive learned giving some folk information is like putting an ax in the hands of a murderer,” says Deitrick Haddon. He goes on to tweet, “No interviews and no questions!”
Below we’ve included the official tweets of Deitrick about this issue.
