Popular Nigerian blogger Stella Dimoko Korkus has stepped forward to categorically deny widespread online rumours suggesting that Omowunmi Cynthia Aloba, the widow of late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba (Mohbad), recently gave birth to a baby girl.
Viral Speculation Meets Firm Denial
The claims, which gained significant traction on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) in late December 2025, alleged that Wunmi had welcomed her second child. Fans had flooded the internet with a mix of curiosity and premature congratulations. However, in a recent post addressing the speculation, Stella Dimoko Korkus stated that the story is completely false.
According to Korkus, she conducted her own checks and confirmed that the rumour was fabricated by individuals seeking to benefit from the misinformation. She urged the Nigerian public to disregard the story entirely, offering no confirmation from Wunmi or her close family members on the matter.
Legal Battles and Public Scrutiny
This incident adds another layer to the intense public scrutiny faced by Omowunmi since her husband's tragic passing. Legit.ng had earlier reported that on November 19, 2025, Omowunmi, through her lawyers, initiated legal proceedings at the Lagos State High Court in Ikeja to protect Mohbad's estate.
She filed a notification with the Probate Registrar, submitting the necessary forms to ensure that Letters of Administration could not be granted to anyone other than the rightful beneficiaries. In the application, she was formally recognized as Mohbad's legal wife and the mother of his only surviving child, Master Liam Aloba. Public notices were also placed in two national newspapers to prevent any fraudulent claims on the estate.
Nigerians React: A Call for Peace
The public reaction to both the rumour and Korkus's denial has been one of sympathy for the young widow and frustration with the persistent gossip. Many social media users have called for Wunmi to be allowed to mourn and move on with her life in peace.
Comments compiled by Legit.ng reflect this sentiment. One user, nikkyremmy, questioned the scrutiny, asking, "Even if she does, what is her crime?" Another, ayabaolu_clovis, lamented, "l wonder why they wouldn’t want peace for this young widow."
Others pointed to the constant challenges Wunmi has faced. User cutabove_d_rest stated, "There is nothing absolutely NOTHING they haven’t thrown at this woman." Meanwhile, watchkyenshrink noted the illogical nature of the rumour, referencing Wunmi's active social media presence focused on her business.
The consensus among many commentators is that the widow has endured enough hardship and should be left alone. The episode underscores the intense and often invasive spotlight on celebrities and their families in Nigeria's digital space.
