Nollywood Actress, Kate Henshaw, has debunked the rumour of her senior colleague and veteran Olu Jacob’s death.

For the umpteenth time, rumours about the ailing actor’s death broke and circulated on Nigerian social media on the afternoon of Sunday, June 30, 2024.

Jacobs is currently bogged down by dementia as revealed by his actress wife, Joke Silva, during a conversation with Mercy Johnson on an episode of Mercy’s Menu in January 2023.

Silva said she committed Jacobs’ health to God in prayers and also adopted herbal medication.

She and the children have reportedly been looking after the thespian at home.

Meanwhile, since her revelation last year, rumours about the death of the ace actor and film executive have continued to surface on social media.

Responding to the Sunday episode, Henshaw confirmed that Jacobs is alive and kicking.

The actress also condemned the repeated peddling of rumours about the actor’s death, noting that it’s unfair to the family.

“📌📌📌📌📌📌📌📌📌📌HOW YOU PEOPLE PUT UP RIP POSTS ABOUT SOMEONE WHO IS STILL ALIVE, YEAR IN YEAR OUT IS VERY SICKENING, TBH!!! You do this to this great man and his family ALL THE TIME!! It is all shades of wrong!! Stop for goodness sake!! UNCLE OLU JACOBS is ALIVE!!!” she said.

Portable has accused Zlatan, his colleague, of causing him to miss Davido‘s wedding and straining his friendship with the singer.

On Tuesday, Davido and Chioma, his long-time partner, held their traditional marriage ceremony at Harbour Point Event Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos.

The star-studded event was attended by dignitaries and celebrities, including Olamide, Fireboy, Iyabo Ojo, Victor Osimen, Obi Cubana, Zlatan, and Iyanya.

Portable had previously called out Davido for refusing a collaboration after a dinner with him in the US.

Following Davido’s wedding, Portable took to Instagram to claim he was invited but missed it due to Zlatan’s interference.

He accused Zlatan of disrupting the arrangements and advising Davido to be cautious around him.

“Davido invited me to his wedding and we discussed details. Zlatan Ibile called and disrupted things. If it were not for him, I would have attended the wedding,” Portable said.

This is not the first time Portable has called out Zlatan.

On June 12, Portable accused Zlatan of advising Davido to be careful around him.

Zlatan is yet to respond to Portable’s accusations.

Portable has a long history of feuding with fellow singers.

Chief Juliet Kings, the manager of Angel Unigwe, released a statement regarding false statements made by the Nollywood actor and filmmaker, Kanayo O. Kanayo, in an Instagram video on June 21, 2024.

In the June 24 statement, Kings expressed his disappointment with Kanayo’s video, as the veteran accused Unigwe of professional misconduct and stated he would disrupt future sets where she intends to work.

“It therefore came as a rude shock to learn of and, more importantly, watch and listen to the false, unfounded and slanderous statements attributed to Mr Kanayo in the video in question, calling into question our professional ethics and, more importantly, threatening the very safety and right to dignity of Miss Unigwe, by threatening to disrupt and cause chaos at any set where she intends to work.

“These statements and threats, disseminated via video and social media platforms, are tantamount to an attempt at cyberbullying, they are entirely unfounded and have caused significant emotional distress to Angel and I,” Kings stated.

The manager denied the accusations and provided a detailed account of the events surrounding the film project which took place between June 17 and June 19.

According to him, Unigwe participated in the project under clear and agreed terms with Kanayo.

“As a background to the events that led to this, between the 17th of June 2024 and the 19th of June 2024, Miss Unigwe participated in a film project under clear and agreed terms, most important of all being a daily wrap time of 9 pm.

“Despite our concerns about the feasibility of filming fifty-seven (57) scenes in three (3) days, we proceeded based on the assurances we received from Mr Kanayo O. Kanayo and his director, in person of Ndifreke Matthew, that the three days period will be sufficient for shooting and that the talent’s shooting time of 12 hours starting from 9 am to 9 pm is acceptable to them, moreso there will be no extension considering her prior engagement,” Kings stated.

Unigwe’s manager also stated after working for an extra 45 to 50 minutes above the agreed hours, they left the location.

“Upon completion of the shoot, we left the location without protest from the director or the production manager Mr Cosmos Nwaihe, having performed our obligations.”

Kings noted that Kanayo’s action is a manifestation of gender-based oppression and called for professionalism from the actor.

“This situation highlights a broader issue of gender-based oppression, as we have been subjected to derogatory and defamatory remarks simply because we stood our ground and insisted on compliance with the terms of the agreement all parties had freely entered into.

“It is disheartening to see such behaviour in an industry that should be built on mutual respect and professionalism and even more shocking from an individual who we hold in high esteem and is considered a veteran of the industry,” he stated.
