Priscilla Ojo, daughter of actress Iyabo Ojo, took to Instagram Stories to respond to singer Azeez Adeshina Fashola a.k.a Naira Marley following his recent defamation claims against her mother, urging him to focus on his ongoing lawsuits already in court.
She highlighted the recent uproar over Marley’s alleged bullying of the late singer Mohbad, of which the police has said it found evidence that bullying occurred.
She began, “The audacity!! You want to sue? Sue who. Lmaooooo..clowns. The cases you have in court for the boys’ catalogue and unpaid royalties, have you finished that one? You want to sue who? When there are legit videos and evidence of your gang steadily bullying that young man before he died. Dey play!”
Priscilla went further to criticise Nigerians for dragging her mother on social media, reminding them of Iyabo Ojo’s active role in fighting for justice for the late singer who passed away on September 12, 2023.
“Nigerians, y’all amaze me, sha, but I’ll say no celebrity should have their safety, career, kids in the line to fight for justice. That woman y’all are dragging now didn’t only come online to fight; she was legit at the police station back to back. Now she was fighting for the young man that was vividly bullied with evidence from his record label before he died,” her post read in part.
Priscilla’s lengthy post is as a result of a letter Naira Marley’s lawyers sent to her mother, accusing her of libel and demanding ₦500 million for damages. In the document, the singer’s lawyers highlighted certain statements made by Iyabo Ojo in September, deemed harmful to Marley’s career. For reparations, the singer requested a public apology and a retraction of the statements within seven days of receiving the document or else legal actions would be taken.
Meanwhile Iyabo Ojo has not directly publicly addressed the letter yet.
