Iyabo Ojo Counter-Sues Naira Marley, Demands ₦1bn In Damages
Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, has counter-sued Marlian boss and rap artist/singer, Azeez Fashola popularly known as Naira Marley.
The veteran actress, in a statement posted on her Instagram page, is now demanding N500 million from the singer.
According to the actress, she has no take backs fighting for justice for the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad, and his family, despite the criticism she received.
“I emphatically reject all forms of bullying and for me to bully, it is to continuously denigrate, hurt, and cause harm to others, and that is not me. Stepping on that dress on the show was a way to get talking points for the show for entertainment purposes, and we succeeded. No harm was meant.
“One of my main goals of starring on a reality TV show was to entertain everyone and give you all a show worthy of your time. I made sure that drama was the centrepiece of the show. In the midst of that drama, I may have offended some people and displayed some behaviours that are certain attributes to bullies. For that, I am truly sorry to all that I have offended,” she said.
Recall that Naira Marley’s legal team had threatened a potential N500 million lawsuit if Ojo did not apologise on Instagram and in a national daily newspaper within seven days.
