Actress Iyabo Ojo became the centre of attention at the lavish burial party held in honor of Mercy Aigbes late mother, an event that drew a notable gathering from the entertainment industry. Multiple videos from the celebration show a performer delivering an extended praise session directed at Iyabo Ojo, prompting a wave of online reactions and subtle criticism aimed at actress Lizzy Anjorin.
Observers online remarked that the warmth and energy displayed towards Iyabo Ojo contrasted sharply with the strained atmosphere that has surrounded public interactions between her and Lizzy Anjorin in recent months. Some users suggested that the singers lyrical admiration was a deliberate remark on the ongoing rift between the actresses, while others argued it was simply part of the cultural performance typical of Yoruba celebrations.
Iyabo Ojo, known for her highly publicised philanthropic work and strong social media presence, appeared unfazed by the commentary, engaging freely with guests and sharing clips from the event. Mercy Aigbe expressed gratitude to all attendees and described the ceremony as a fitting tribute to her late mother.
The online conversation surrounding the event continues to trend, fuelled by both the star power present at the celebration and long running tensions within the Yoruba film community. Analysts note that Nollywood gatherings often become flashpoints for public discussion, with fans reading symbolic meaning into performances and interactions between celebrities. The burial party has now become yet another moment of scrutiny within the industrys ongoing interpersonal dramas.
