However, the clip did not sit well with a social media user who accused her of embarrassing her husband publicly.
The critic claimed Desola was “dating” the singer and advised her to keep such relationships private.
The comment read: “Embarrassing your husband in public is not fair. You’re dating him! Keep it private.”
In a sharp response, Desola dismissed the accusation and fired back at the critic. She stated that people should hide relationships only when they are not proud of who they are associated with.
Making it clear she had no intention of explaining herself, she added that she would not be debunking any rumours.
“If e reach your turn, hide it when you date better people. Aye gbogbo yin maa baje ni. I no go debunk anything,” she wrote, ending her message with the phrase “Aura for aura.”
The response quickly drew attention online, with many fans praising her confidence, while others continued to debate the situation.

This is not the first time the Afods have had to address public scrutiny.
In an interview last year, Kunle Afod described his wife as the backbone of their marriage, noting that every home faces challenges and crediting Desola as “the best woman ever.”
In 2024, the actor also shut down rumours of impregnating a woman in Mushin, joking that the alleged women only existed as “ghosts.” Around the same period, a troll accused him of having an affair in Ibadan. Desola firmly defended her husband, stating she would not leave him regardless of circumstances.
While celebrating Kunle Afod’s 50th birthday, Desola openly spoke about the difficulties of being married to a celebrity.
She admitted the journey had not been easy but maintained her stance against divorce, pledging to stand by her husband and the father of her children.

Kunle Afod gifts Iya Osogbo N2m
Legit.ng earlier reported that Nigerian veteran actress Grace Oyin Adejobi, popularly known as Iya Osogbo, once again touched hearts with her response to the N2 million birthday gift from an anonymous sender.
On Wednesday, September 3, actor Kunle Afod shared a heartwarming video of himself at the residence of the veteran actress, who appeared not to recognise him due to her advanced age.
However, she warmly welcomed him into her home, singing Christian hymns and songs. A clip captured the moment Afod presented the sum of N50,000 from a colleague overseas to the veteran actress.
