Iyabo Ojo Denies Allegations of Providing Kayamata to Goddaughter Fola Tinubu
Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has publicly addressed and refuted claims made by anonymous blogger Gistlover, which alleged she gave her goddaughter Fola Tinubu an aphrodisiac known as kayamata to trap men. The allegations, which surfaced online, suggested Ojo was involved in Tinubu's personal affairs, but the actress has firmly denied any such involvement.
Ojo's Detailed Response to the Accusations
In a lengthy social media post, Iyabo Ojo clarified her position, emphasizing that Fola Tinubu is an adult capable of making her own decisions. She stated, "I cannot monitor my goddaughter's love life and do not discuss relationships with her." Ojo further denied ever using or distributing kayamata, asserting, "I do not know who Tinubu is dating, and I cannot give what I do not have." She explained that her role is solely to support Tinubu's business success and expressed happiness at seeing her goddaughter thrive professionally.
Fan Reactions and Support for Iyabo Ojo
Fans have largely rallied behind Iyabo Ojo following her response. Many took to social media to share their views, with comments highlighting that Tinubu is an adult responsible for her own actions. One fan noted, "In as much as she's right about Fola being an adult, I think Gistlover was being sarcastic about the kayamata thing." Others defended Ojo, stating she has no time for such rumors and is focused on helping others succeed. The consensus among supporters is that the allegations are unfounded and that Ojo should not be held accountable for Tinubu's personal choices.
Background on the Allegations and Related Incidents
The controversy stems from a post by Gistlover, which not only accused Ojo of providing kayamata but also mentioned other celebrities and men allegedly involved with Tinubu. This is not the first time Iyabo Ojo has faced public scrutiny; recently, she was criticized by musician Portable over comments about single mothers. Portable questioned why Ojo celebrated her daughter's marriage instead of promoting single motherhood, adding another layer to the ongoing public discourse around the actress.
Iyabo Ojo, often referred to as "The Queen Mother," concluded her statement by addressing the rumor mongers directly. She said, "If any of the allegations were true, I would accept them, but since they are false, I return the negative words to the blogger." This firm stance underscores her commitment to clearing her name amidst the spreading gossip.
