The Nollywood actress has been under public scrutiny after a video surfaced showing her trying to avoid the camera during the burial of Adekola’s father last week.

The incident reignited old speculations about a romantic link between the pair.

Taking to her Instagram story on Wednesday, Ajao described the allegations as malicious and unfounded. She stressed that she cannot respond to every rumor, noting that “life hits differently when you stop to prove you didn’t do that, or you are not like that.”

In a series of posts, she wrote:

“You can’t fix every lie and rumour, nor can you defend yourself every time. Just be great. People may destroy your image, stain your personality, but they can’t take away your good deeds because no matter how they describe you, you will still be admired by those who know you better.”

Ajao’s response comes after years of persistent rumors about her relationship with Adekola, which neither party has ever confirmed. Her latest remarks highlight the toll of public scrutiny on Nollywood stars and reflect her resolve to rise above negativity.
