The online spat escalated after Mange publicly called out young influencer Priscilla Ojo over her social media content and unverified wedding sponsorship rumours.

In a fiery response that has since gone viral across Nigerian social media platforms, Iyabo Ojo expressed her outrage with no holds barred. “I’m appalled by your audacity! Keep my daughter out of your affairs.

She’ll post what she likes, when she likes, and how she likes. She doesn’t need you to love her,” Ojo declared, making her stance unequivocally clear.

The actress didn’t stop at merely addressing Mange’s initial criticism. She directly tackled the swirling rumours suggesting that a recent elaborate “wedding” linked to her daughter was financed through questionable means.

Shutting down the widespread speculation, Ojo clarified that the lavish celebration was, in fact, entirely in line with her family’s established cultural traditions.

“Regarding the wedding rumours, it’s not your government that gave us money; it’s a cultural tradition in my family — the wife’s family covers costs.

I wanted an elaborate wedding for my daughter in Nigeria, and we, the Nigerians, gave her one,” Iyabo Ojo explained, providing a detailed rebuttal to the financing claims.

Iyabo Ojo’s passionate defence has garnered widespread support online, with countless fans and fellow celebrities applauding her for standing up resolutely for her daughter’s dignity and privacy.

She concluded her powerful statement by reaffirming Priscilla’s strong position in the hearts of many: “She is very loved and well-loved.”

Social media continues to buzz with reactions, proving that when it comes to family, the influential mother-daughter duo remains a significant talking point, and Iyabo Ojo is always prepared to defend her own without reservation.
