Lola Idije addresses claim Omoborty married her daughter’s boyfriend
Toyin Afolayan, the actress better known as Lola Idije, has addressed a claim that her colleague Biodun ‘Omoborty’ Okeowo married her daughter’s boyfriend.
In March, Omoborty announced her engagement to her lover after which they got married.
The controversy began when blogger Gistlover claimed Okeowo snatched Afolayan’s daughter’s partner, sparking tension between the two actresses.
In a now-viral video, Omoborty, 45, refuted the claim, stating that her husband doesn’t know Afolayan’s daughters.
She said Afolayan only spoke to her husband once, via phone call, which she arranged.
“My husband does not know any of her daughters. My husband spoke to mummy Lola for the first time through me because I do not want the narrative that Biodun snatched her husband from someone she takes as her mother. I told her I wanted her to speak to my husband on the phone. I am not going to deny that she is angry with me. And I am not going to address that,” she said.
“I took her as a mother when my mum died. I did not hide that. It was obvious to everybody. That I hold her in high esteem. So, I do not know where the lie is coming from. I am begging everyone involved in this used by Gistlover to tarnish my image. I do not like an elaborate party. My wedding was not the first time I had a close event.”
Afolayan, 65, corroborated Okeowo’s account on her Instagram page.
She said she first spoke to Okeowo’s husband during a phone call introduction. She added that none of her daughters know Okeowo’s husband personally.
“I want to address the story going around since yesterday and to clear the air. The first time I ever spoke to Omoborty’s husband was when she introduced him to me on a phone call, I did not know him before that.
“None of my daughters know him personally. Biodun aka Omoborty did not snatch my daughter’s boyfriend.
“I attended the wedding, there is no way she would do that and I still would attend the wedding.”

Plantashun Boiz attempted reunions failed because I wasn’t invited, says Blackface
Blackface, the Nigerian dancehall singer, says Plantashun Boiz, a defunct music group, multiple attempts to reunite failed because he was not included.
Formed in 2000 with 2Baba and Faze, Plantashun Boiz disbanded in 2004 but briefly reunited in 2007 for an album.
In a recent episode of the ‘Curiosity Made Me Ask’ podcast, the host asked Blackface if there was any chance that the group might come back together.
The singer disclosed that his colleagues had attempted to reunite without him but were unsuccessful.
“Without me, they have tried and they have failed. Many times. You saw them in all those shows that they were going,” he said.
“They tried but they failed. But what I must say is I’m the plantation. So let it be known. Forget the fake memo that they spread before.”
In September, Blackface called for the reunion of the defunct music group.
He urged fans to join the mission, emphasising that “unity is strength, not division”.
“My people oya make una talk put mouth for this matter! We are on a mission for world peace and it’s not a small-time thing,” he said in pidgin English.
Since 2015, Blackface constantly tackled 2Baba for recording 2004 hit ‘African Queen’ which he claimed he wrote.
In 2017, he argued that 2Baba “sabotaged” his career in the music industry.

Despite feud, Peter Okoye celebrates Paul on 43rd birthday
Peter ‘Mr P’ Okoye, the Nigerian singer, has celebrated Paul ‘Rudeboy’ Okoye, his twin brother, on their 43rd birthday amid their ongoing feud.
The twin brothers have been in the public eyes since their second fallout in August.
They had their first rift in 2017 which led to the dissolution of Psquare, their music brand. Though they reunited in November 2021, their reconciliation was short-lived.
Paul recently revealed another fallout, accusing Peter of orchestrating his arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Peter, however, denied the allegations and accused Jude Okoye, their older brother, of diverting millions of dollars from their joint account into a secret company.
Responding to the accusations, Jude said he had done everything possible, even “sacrificing himself,” to mend the rift between his brothers.
In an Instagram post on Monday, Peter shared several photos showcasing their growth over the years.
He also celebrated their birthday while wishing himself as well as his twin brother more wins.

Tiwa Savage calls out Wizkid fan for bullying
Wizkid’s group of fans collectively known as “Wizkid FC” are popular for their vehement support for Wizkid and their antagonism toward those considered his rivals.
Tiwa Savage is the latest artist to call out Wizkid FC for harassment after some members of the fanbase mocked her for releasing a song on the same day as Wizkid.
On November 15, 2024, Ruger released his new song ‘Toma Toma’ featuring Tiwa Savage which she shared on her Instagram page with the caption “Told yall this one is special. The @rugerofficial called and I answered”.
In response, a Wizkid fan said “Dey play, nothing special pass Wizzy hits”.
The reply rubbed off wrongly on Tiwa Savage who said “Because I am promoting music? WTF…y’all are not fans anymore ooo you guys are actual bullies”.
