Nollywood actress and activist Iyabo Ojo has publicly slammed a social media user, @mangekimambi80, over derogatory remarks made about her daughter and son-in-law. The outspoken star didn’t mince words as she defended her family, calling out the user for attempting to demean and intimidate her daughter online.
In a strongly worded message shared on social media, Iyabo expressed her outrage over the critic’s audacity to call her daughter’s content “stupid,” emphasizing that such attacks are unacceptable. “As a parent, I’ve taught her to be confident and authentic,” she said. “The Mkambala are very peaceful, but note I don’t joke with my daughter.”
She also addressed rumors about the cost and funding of her daughter’s wedding, clarifying that the elaborate celebration held in Nigeria was a cultural tradition, funded by her own family and fellow Nigerians, not by any foreign government.
Iyabo, who describes herself as an activist, highlighted the importance of standing for one’s principles without resorting to insults or intimidation.
She criticized the critic for trying to interfere in the lives of her daughter and her Tanzanian husband from afar, stating, “It’s laughable that you, living in America, think you can dictate to my daughter and her husband.”
Wrapping up her statement, she declared: “She is very loved and well loved. We protect our own… Never forget that.”
Iyabo Ojo’s fiery response has since gone viral, earning praise from fans who commend her for standing up for her family and calling out online bullying.
