Iyabo Ojo has addressed an online scandal involving a fan-led contribution scheme and separate rumors about traditional aphrodisiac promotion.
During an Instagram Live session on March 19, 2026, the actress denied any involvement in the alleged “ajo” (contribution) scam. The scheme was reportedly organized by a superfan and associate known as Motun.
Ojo explained that Motun had no official authority to represent her or her brand. She clarified her stance on the situation.
“I have never given her any official responsibilities related to my work. While I appreciate fans who support me, this does not translate into any formal relationship or endorsement.”
Iyabo Ojo took swift action during the broadcast. She instructed Motun to stop promoting her movie and demanded the return of a cinema premiere ticket that had been gifted. Ojo emphasized she wanted to correct misconceptions and protect her professional image.
She also addressed separate rumors suggesting she had introduced her goddaughter to “Kayamata” products.
“I do not use or promote such products. My relationship with my goddaughter is purely supportive.”
“I have only assisted her with business and legal matters.”
The controversy has ignited social media discussions about the boundaries between celebrities and superfan communities in Nigeria. Analysts note that Ojo’s actions are a strategic effort to safeguard her reputation and prevent unauthorized financial schemes targeting her followers.
Her clarification underscores the importance of transparency in celebrity-fan interactions and the need to protect personal and professional credibility online.
