U.S-based Yoruba actress, Oyinkansola Elebuibon, has debunked rumours that actor Lateef Adedimeji, is the father of her baby.
Oyinkansola revealed this in a video on Instagram on Tuesday.
She said, “I don’t have a problem with anybody being a journalist or with anybody trying to make ends meet. Do you, but not by hurting others because, at some points, we need to sit back and think about the effects of what we do on the persons involved. It is easy to hide behind our keyboards to insult our leaders and people in the public space without knowing that we as individuals are not better than them in terms of what we do.
“This is not the first time this will happen. The first time this person would post something about me, I was shocked but I just let it slide then because I felt my response would only strengthen the news.”
She also said the speculations came about because people, including some of her colleagues in the movie industry, who wondered about her private life because she has chosen to set her personal life aside from social media.
“I am not responding now because of me, as that is the price you pay once you’re known because if that is not the case, why would everybody believe they are entitled to your private life? They want to know if you have a husband if you have a child they want to know. They want to know everything about you because you are a celebrity,” she said
Lateef was accused of being Oyinkan’s baby daddy by a blog named Gistlover on Tuesday.
The blog claimed the reason Oyinkan moved to US was to cover up Lateef as the father of her child.
Lateet is also rumoured to be in a relationship with his colleague Oyebade Adebimpe popularly known as Mo Bimpe.
Oyinkansola is the daughter of popular Ifa priest and consummate artist, Yemi Elebuibon.
