Nollywood actress and filmmaker Eniola Ajao has debunked claims that she and actor Odunlade Adekola were romantically involved.

In a recent interview with Tribune Newspaper, the thespian was asked about her views regarding the speculations about her and her colleague. She clarified that Odunlade is like family to her and that it had always been that way before she attained stardom.

“Wherever you are, always make your impact known. Show people that you are there to support. I have always made myself available for Odunlade Adekola Films production even before I became who I am. I have been in the industry since 2003 and I didn’t blow till 2010/2011 when God used this man to push me out there. So whenever he has something to do, I just pick up my bag and I go. I don’t care what anybody wants to say.”

She also said that her support for him stems from the support he has shown her.

“He has always been in support of my career and I have always been in support of whatever he is doing, even with his family, I will be there. Those things are not online, and the fact that they don’t come on social media doesn’t mean they are not happening. People will always speculate but it doesn’t mean it is true,” she said.

“I am not the only one under Odunlade Adekola, but I am a family person. If you give me one naira, I will make sure I repay you with ten naira. That is my spirit. So when Odunlade is doing stuff, I am always there. So, to people, it looks like these people are dating…There was never a time he asked me out,” she concluded.

Chris Brown and Yella Beezy, the US artistes, are being sued by four men who claimed they were violently attacked and left hospitalised after a concert in Texas on July 20.

According to TMZ, Brown’s entourage lieutenant Sinko Ceej and Live Nation are also facing the lawsuit filed by the alleged victims.

The suit was filed in Houston on Monday by Larry Parker, Joseph Lewis, Charles Bush, and Damarcus Powell.

The plaintiffs are seeking $50 million in damages for alleged monetary losses, pain and suffering, disfigurement, mental anguish, and past, present, and future medical expenses.

They accused the defendants of “throwing chairs at them and repeatedly kicking, stomping, and beating them”.

The plaintiffs said they attended Brown’s ‘11:11 Tour’ at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth. After the show ended, they claimed that they were invited and escorted backstage along with 40 women to Brown’s VIP area.

The lawsuit claimed that Brown entered the area after 30 minutes but the alleged victims were tired of waiting and proceeded to leave.

Before leaving, Bush said he approached the singer to shake his hand and congratulate him on a good show.

The lawsuit said before Bush, Parker, Lewis, and Powell could leave, someone from Brown’s entourage said: “Man, you don’t remember you two were beefing?” The singer then allegedly told his crew to attack Bush.

The plaintiffs alleged that they were assaulted in a hallway by almost ten members of Brown’s entourage.

According to the suit, Brown and his crew allegedly punched Parker in the face and chest, kicked him in the head for over 10 minutes, and stomped him, causing him severe bodily injury.

Powell and Bush were said to have been punched in the shoulder and chest by the singer and his entourage.

Lawsuit documents said Bush, Powell, Lewis, and Parker all received severe injuries to their heads, necks, shoulders, and backs and are still receiving medical treatment.

In addition to the $50 million in damages, the plaintiffs have also filed restraining orders against Brown, Beezy, and Sinko Ceej to “preserve evidence”.
