Nollywood Stars Biola Adebayo and Iyabo Ojo Reconcile After Viral Interview Drama
In a heartwarming turn of events, Nollywood actresses Biola Adebayo and Iyabo Ojo have reconciled following a public fallout over a controversial interview. The reconciliation was highlighted by Biola's attendance at Iyabo's movie premiere for The Return of Arinzo on Sunday, March 29, 2026, which has sparked significant buzz across social media platforms.
Premiere Attendance Signals Fresh Start
A viral video captured Biola Adebayo arriving confidently on the red carpet at the premiere, dressed in a flowing gown and posing amid flashing cameras and event excitement. Her presence was notable given the recent tension between the two stars, stemming from Biola's podcast interview with convicted actor Baba Ijesha. Iyabo Ojo had previously unfollowed Biola on Instagram in response to the interview, but has since reversed this action, refollowing her and commenting positively on her posts.
Iyabo Ojo's Instagram page now shows she is following Biola again, and she recently dropped love emojis on Biola's post about attending actress Toyosi Adesanya's newborn christening, which occurred just a day before the premiere. This gesture hints at a renewed friendship and a move past the earlier conflict.
Background of the Controversy
The rift began when Biola Adebayo conducted a podcast interview with Baba Ijesha, a convicted actor, which Iyabo Ojo found controversial. In response, Iyabo unfollowed Biola on Instagram. Biola later took down the interview video and issued a heartfelt apology, including a direct message to Iyabo, which paved the way for their reconciliation.
