Popular Nigerian content creator Hamzat Kolu, popularly known as Kolu Wahala, has strongly denied knowing a woman who recently appeared online claiming to be his biological mother.

Kolu went further to state that if he ever encountered her in person, he would involve the police and have her arrested.
The controversy stems from an emotional video shared earlier by a woman, who claimed she was Kolu’s mother and accused him of abandoning her after rising to fame through TikTok skits and streaming.
She recounted her struggles during pregnancy and childbirth, explaining that she endured hardship to raise him despite pressure from others to give up on him.
According to her, she believed he was destined for greatness, which motivated her to keep him, but she now feels forgotten as she remains in the village while he enjoys success in Lagos.
Kolu, however, rejected her claims outright in his video, stating that he only has a father and brother, but no mother.
“I don’t know this woman before. I don’t have a mother. I only have a father and brother. Anytime I see this woman, I’ll use the police to arrest her.”
He emphasised that the woman’s statements were false and that he would not tolerate her attempts to associate herself with him.

@PrissyRose4 reacted:
"I know someone who knows Kolu to his home and right from time he has always talked about Kolu'father alone and that he doesn't have a mother. Today I showed him this trend and he said this one is just chasing clout."

"This situation is really dramatic. Kolu outrightly denying knowing the woman claiming to be his mother in a viral video shows just how messy family disputes can get."

Kolu begs for loan to bail Portable
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that media personality Kolu begged comedian Carter Efe for a ₦7 million loan to bail controversial singer Portable from jail.
The plea came during a recent Twitch livestream, where Kolu explained that despite his fallout with Portable, he owed the singer a debt of gratitude.
Kolu revealed that he had already sold his multimillion-naira car, but the funds were not enough to meet the bail conditions.
Portable was arrested on January 10, 2026, in Ogun State, with police accusing him of assaulting his baby mama, actress Ashabi Simple, her sibling, and several officers.
