Nigerian actress and entrepreneur Iyabo Ojo has publicly dismissed claims that she supplied aphrodisiac products, popularly known as kayamata, to Fola Tinubu. The allegation, which circulated widely on social media, suggested that Ojo was involved in distributing the controversial intimacy-enhancing items.
In a firm response, Ojo stated: “I don’t use that, and I don’t sell that.” She emphasized that her business ventures are legitimate and unrelated to such products, describing the rumors as baseless attempts to tarnish her reputation.
Public reactions have been mixed. Supporters rallied behind Ojo, praising her for addressing the issue directly and refusing to let gossip define her image. Many fans highlighted her longstanding career in Nollywood and her reputation as a vocal advocate for women’s empowerment. Critics, however, argued that her denial might not silence speculation, pointing to the persistence of rumors in Nigeria’s celebrity culture.
The controversy has also sparked broader conversations online about the influence of social media in shaping narratives around public figures. Commentators noted that kayamata products have become a recurring subject of debate in Nigeria, often linked to discussions about morality, relationships, and the commercialization of intimacy.
For international observers, the episode illustrates the challenges faced by celebrities in navigating rumor-driven digital spaces. Ojo’s swift rebuttal reflects a growing trend among public figures who are increasingly compelled to defend their reputations in real time against viral claims.
