Iyabo Ojo Hits Back at Allwell Ademola’s Brother Over Criticism of Support
Actress Iyabo Ojo has responded to criticism from Allwell Ademola’s brother over the support she and other colleagues reportedly gave the late actress during her lifetime.
The brother had accused Iyabo Ojo and other celebrities of failing to support Allwell Ademola’s work and career, despite claiming to be friends.
In a video, he said: “All the ‘Rest in Peace’ messages and public displays of love are fake and hypocritical. Where was this love when she was alive? When she produced Eniobanke, none of you promoted it. You all claimed friendship, yet you never supported her work or career, even though she supported many of you. During the Jagun Jagun production, no one called her or offered her a role.
“Some of you, like Lateef Adedimeji, Owonikoko, Iyabo Ojo, and others, came to our house to shoot movies, yet you never found it worthy to stand by her. If you couldn’t support her while she was alive, don’t perform loyalty now that she is gone.”
In reply, Iyabo Ojo defended her actions, saying, “I over-supported your sister when she was alive, when she was building her career as a producer and director. I featured in her movies countless times for free and I also supported her financially and emotionally.”
She concluded by wishing the late actress peace, adding, “May her beautiful soul continue to rest in perfect peace.”
