However, in an interview with The PUNCH, Fabiyi stated that he had known Imisi long before she became famous, describing her as a dedicated student and a young woman with an admirable work ethic.
According to Fabiyi, his bond with Imisi began years ago when she was a student at his film academy.
He said her determination and talent were evident from the start, which made it easy for him to take an interest in her growth.
The actor said:
“She has been helpful beyond the classroom. She once lived in the same area with me in Ikorodu and has always looked out for me and my son. It’s only right I support her the same way."
He added that his support for Imisi during her time in the Big Brother house was purely out of admiration for her resilience and not driven by personal motives.

Fabiyi also addressed social media speculations about the nature of his closeness to the reality star.
Some online users had accused him of attempting to ride on her newfound fame, while others hinted that his public support could harm her brand image.
However, Fabiyi dismissed the claims as baseless and unfair.
He said:
“Some people have no credibility or pedigree; I don’t give them attention. I know my values, and I stand by those I believe in."
He also reacted to a blogger’s post warning him to stay away from the BBNaija winner, insisting that such narratives were misleading.
According to him, loyalty and mentorship are being misinterpreted in a society quick to assume the worst.
Fabiyi stressed that his relationship with Imisi is built on mutual trust and professional respect.
He affirmed:
“I have no regrets supporting her. People are free to misread my actions, but my conscience is clear. She’s like a daughter to me in the industry."
