وَاللَّهِ مَا بَرَّةٌ بِعُرْسِي / وَلَا لِيَ ابْنٌ بِهِ اكْتَنَيْتُ
By God, Barra is not my wife, nor do I have a son after whom I took my kunya.
The explicit denial of the supposed wife and son removes the foundations of an earlier affecting story. The audience had responded to apparent bereavement; the speaker now admits the familial claims were constructed.
The paired negative construction mā ... wa-lā overturns two relationships at once. Earlier lines must therefore be understood as part of a money-making narrative rather than independent reportage. The surprise is not just a joke: it changes the evidentiary status of the preceding appeal.
