November 26, (THEWILL) – Nollywood actress in the Yoruba speaking genre, Omowunmi Ajiboye has denied being in a romantic relationship with Musiliu Akinsanya, a.k.a MC Oluomo.
A rumour that she was having an affair with the chairman of the Lagos State Parks Management Committee started spreading around, following the lavish funeral party that she organised in honour of her late mum. MC Oluomo was one of the guests who took time out to attend the party held in Osogbo, Osun State, prompting many to assume he sponsored her mother’s funeral. Moreso, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall was the choice musician of the day.
Many expressed the opinion that Omowunmi was not financially buoyant enough to pay KWAM1 to serenade her guests.
Reacting, Omowunmi said she had never had a romantic relationship with MC Oluomo. She admitted that he supported her financially for her mum’s burial, but that there was nothing amorous between them. She described him as a philanthropist and someone who has been good to her.
“I need to clear the air. I am a virtuous and hardworking woman and I wouldn’t allow my hard work, my name, my sweat and my truth to be robbed,” she said.
“I had sealed it with the King of Fuji Music independently years before the burial party and after the birth of a group called CGI (Connecting Grassroots Initiatives), I had to officially invite the Pioneer of the group in person of MC Oluomo. I can categorically say that I have never had a romantic relationship with him, before or during the party I just had.
“It took me seven years to give my mother a final befitting burial which I am proud to do solely. The philanthropist gave me money to support in the presence of the committee, a day to the party. Everything I have done single-handedly is always tagged to him and somehow robs me of my hard work and my sweat.
“I kept quiet for long, but I am boldly saying that I do not have any romantic relationship with him and this does not cancel the fact that he has been good to me. This is not to say that I did not receive gifts and support from friends and colleagues like everyone would.
“As for the father of my children who has refused to say a word on our relationship status, I respect his opinion but when I see the undeserved empathy he gets, I feel tempted to talk. But for the sake of the kids, I will keep mute until he finds an appropriate time to do otherwise.”
Omowunmi is currently separated from her husband and father of her two children, fellow actor and movie producer, Segun Ogungbe.
