Nollywood actor and filmmaker Yomi Fabiyi has sparked backlash on social media after referring to Big Brother Naija Season 10 winner Imisi as “my girl.”
Fabiyi shared a throwback video from his birthday and housewarming celebration, where Imisi attended and celebrated with him.
He called her a “joyful spirit” and expressed pride in her success, noting that she was once a student at his Rocklaf Studio Film Academy and that her humility and consistency paid off in the entertainment industry.
However, this personal connection and claim of mentorship triggered mixed reactions online.
Some social media users questioned the legitimacy of Fabiyi’s claim, with comments debating who truly taught or trained Imisi. Others accused Fabiyi of exploiting her win for attention, especially given past controversies involving him and Imisi’s current associations.
The backlash reflects tensions within the entertainment community and fans about ownership of Imisi’s success and recognition.
Fabiyi expressed overwhelming joy and called Imisi a champion, reinforcing his loyalty to her despite the criticisms.
