Famous Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has taken a firm stand against viral rumors linking her to the promotion of 'Kayamata,' a traditional sexual attraction substance, in relation to her goddaughter, Fola Tinubu. The controversy broke following a series of sensational claims published by the anonymous gossip platform Gistlover, which suggested that Ojo had facilitated certain lifestyle choices for Tinubu. The actress, known for her outspoken nature, moved quickly to address the allegations, characterizing them as entirely fabricated and malicious in intent.
The core of the controversy stems from allegations regarding Fola Tinubu’s personal life and her purported romantic associations with several high-profile figures. According to the reports circulated online, Tinubu was allegedly involved with multiple men, including the celebrated Nigerian filmmaker Kunle Afolayan, with additional claims suggesting she had become pregnant. These reports sought to implicate Iyabo Ojo by suggesting she introduced her goddaughter to Kayamata to influence these relationships, painting a picture of calculated social and spiritual manipulation within their circle.
In a passionate response shared via her Instagram account, Iyabo Ojo refuted every aspect of the story, labeling the accusations 'a lie from the pit of hell.' She clarified the nature of her relationship with her goddaughter, stating that while they share a close bond, she does not monitor Tinubu's dating life or involve herself in her personal affairs. Ojo categorically denied ever using Kayamata herself, asserting that she has never had a conversation regarding the substance with Fola. Her defense emphasized a boundary between her role as a godmother and the private choices made by the young woman.
This development is the latest in a string of public confrontations between Nigerian entertainment icons and digital gossip entities. The situation underscores the challenges public figures face in managing their reputations amidst the rapid spread of unverified information on social media. While the allegations have sparked significant debate among fans and followers across West Africa, Iyabo Ojo’s decisive denial aims to put an end to the speculation and reaffirm her commitment to her personal integrity and the privacy of her family associates.
