No, Sade was never involved in such controversy. Her highly publicized arrest was just about a minor traffic infringement.
In later interviews, Sade, who was banned from returning to the country until 2002, claimed that the officer who pulled her over for the minor traffic incident “wanted a bribe,” which she refused to pay.
Sade married Spanish filmmaker Carlos Scola in 1989; the couple divorced three years later. In 1996, she and Jamaican record producer Bobby Morgan had a daughter, Ila Morgan.
Born Helen Folasade Adu on January 16, 1959, in Ibadan, Nigeria, Sade was raised in London. In the early 1980s, she signed with Epic Records and recorded her first album, Diamond Life, in 1984.
A huge hit thanks to such singles as 'Smooth Operator,' the album won Sade a Best New Artist Grammy, and her subsequent multi-platinum albums established Sade as a top-selling soul and pop artist. Read more at Biography.com.
