In a video posted on his Instagram, Apefe clarified that he had only a professional and friendly relationship with the actress. He explained that she had occasionally visited his home and that their collaboration on a comedy skit, in which she played a pregnant woman, was the origin of the false rumors.

“At one point, I suggested creating a comedy skit in which she would act as a pregnant woman. People around us liked the idea, and we filmed it at my house. That particular video later became the source of rumours that she was pregnant with twins in real life. I am not responsible for any pregnancy. The only pregnancy I knew about was the one portrayed in the skit,” Apefe said.

He also spoke about Aunty Ajara’s personal struggles, noting that she sometimes felt insecure about her body, and emphasized his support for her acting career.

“She sometimes struggled with feelings of insecurity because of her body size, but I always admired her acting talent. I was one of her biggest supporters and encouraged her to keep pursuing her career. I am deeply saddened by her passing and I distance myself from the allegations circulating online,” he added.
