Nigerian actress and podcaster, Abiola Adebayo, has responded to the wave of criticism and ridicule she received online after publicly announcing the end of her marriage.
In a video that began trending Tuesday night, Adebayo addressed her critics, explaining that her choice to go public with the separation was intentional. She said it was a way to maintain control over her personal narrative and avoid misinformation.
Speaking in a mix of English and Yoruba, she said, “I am human. The other time I posted about my marriage, it was because I didn’t want people to tell my story for me, yet you all used it against me. I told my husband before I posted, so he was aware of the post. He knows I am not what people say I am, but God will reward everyone.”
Adebayo confirmed that the couple officially separated in April 2024. Despite the split, they have agreed to peacefully co-parent their child, emphasizing mutual respect and maturity in handling the situation.
She ended her remarks by praying that God rewards everyone accordingly and asked for understanding from the public during this sensitive time.
In other news, Afrobeats rising star and Mavin Records signee, Magixx, has shared powerful insights about the realities of making it in the music industry, stating that fear of public embarrassment is a major roadblock for many aspiring artists.
During a recent appearance on Hip TV’s Trending, the singer debunked the popular belief that natural talent alone is enough to achieve success.
“If you’re scared of being embarrassed, you’re not ready for success,” Magixx said. “People like to claim there are more talented individuals in the streets than on stage but if the talent was that obvious, it wouldn’t stay hidden. Many simply don’t manage their opportunities well.”
Magixx further emphasized that success is never a product of mere luck. “Anyone winning right now is doing so because they put in the effort and showed up consistently. God doesn’t make mistakes,” he added.
The singer’s remarks have resonated with many fans online, sparking conversations about self-doubt, missed opportunities, and the hard truths of navigating the entertainment space.
