Iyabo Ojo Urges Calm, Says Lizzy Anjorin Needs Help Amid Feud Over Destiny Boy’s Death

Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has called for calm following accusations from fellow actress Lizzy Anjorin, who alleged Iyabo was involved in the death of upcoming singer Destiny Boy. During a TikTok Live session, Iyabo urged her fans to ignore Lizzy, describing her as someone who “needs help” and is no longer the person she once knew. “Lizzy isn’t the same person I knew,” Iyabo said, questioning what could have triggered her current behavior. She emphasized that prayer is the best response and suggested that Lizzy might need medical attention, expressing disappointment that her husband has not intervened. Iyabo attributed Lizzy’s actions to stress and delusion, adding, “She is not normal. She is not the same Liz who used to dance and sell her products. I don’t know where her trouble started. The only thing I can do at this stage of her madness is to pray for her. She mentions my name in every little thing. As she is cursing me, I am progressing, and my children are making it so; why should I be angry? My fans should please ignore her. She really needs help. It is unfortunate that she is married to a man who is not learned. He should have taken her to a mental home, or maybe he doesn’t care.” Iyabo also addressed claims that she cursed Lizzy’s child, saying, “She said I curs£d her child, but I never did that. I don’t wish her child evil. God will bless and give her child wisdom. I love children so much. She drags me every time because it is my name that makes her relevant. This is 2026, and all I want to do is make money. I don’t have her time. She is delusional. If they don’t take her for medical treatment, she is not going to stop, and I really feel so bad for her. She is so stressed out. She needs help.” The feud between Iyabo Ojo and Lizzy Anjorin is not new, with the actresses having clashed publicly on social media in the past. Iyabo Ojo finally reply Lizzy Anjorin on her TikTok live today. She proceeded by saying Lizzy Anjorin suffers from “schizophrenia”, which is the reason why she's not stopping anytime soon 😂😂😂 https://t.co/2L43HeEAIa pic.twitter.com/yNDiyPgo44 — ADERONKE (@realharderonke) January 20, 2026

Reality TV star Phyna has claimed that Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has distanced herself from her due to her involvement with controversial influencer VeryDarkMan (VDM), whom she labeled a “very dirty boy.” Speaking during a recent livestream, Phyna explained that the change in their relationship began after she responded publicly to a statement by VDM. “The issues she was having… he was involved in them, so I tweeted to reply to VDM because he made a statement. But it was misunderstood. Since then, I feel mama doesn’t like me as much anymore. Before, she used to comment on my posts, she used to like them, but now she no longer likes or follows me. And I’m very sure it’s because of the dirty boy,” she said. Phyna added that the situation has affected her interactions with others online. “It’s what I have to face. I even went as far as confronting him—not to insult, but I attacked her V.E.L because of this same dirty boy. I’ve had my fair share. I’ve fought a lot, and people have stopped talking to me. I remember when I posted something about the dirty boy again, Angel Big Brother… she commented in a way that showed she was clearly not happy with me at all,” she continued. Her revelations have sparked reactions on social media, with fans discussing the reported fallout between Phyna and Iyabo Ojo and the influence of VDM on their strained relationship.

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.”
