Priscilla Ojo, the daughter of renowned Nigerian actress Iyabo Ojo, has addressed the criticism she faced due to her father’s absence, Ademidun Ojo, at her recent wedding ceremony.
According to DANDALI, Priscilla married her partner, singer Juma Jux, in an Islamic ceremony held in Tanzania on Friday. The event was celebrated with much fanfare, but the notable absence of her father led to speculation about their relationship. Many social media users expressed their opinions, suggesting that Priscilla had intentionally excluded her father from the wedding preparations, igniting rumors of a strained father-daughter bond.
The discussions surrounding Ademidun Ojo’s absence also raised questions about his relationship with his ex-wife, Iyabo Ojo. This speculation was fueled by past comments made by Iyabo, who, during a 2023 interview with media personality Toke Makinwa, referred to her marriage with Ademidun as her first experience with poverty, hinting at the challenges they faced together.
In response to the backlash, Priscilla took to her Snapchat story to share a screenshot of a video call she had with her father on Sunday evening, aiming to dispel the rumors and demonstrate that their relationship remains intact despite his absence at the wedding. Through this gesture, she sought to clarify that familial bonds can endure even amid public scrutiny and misunderstandings.
