While the video was intended as casual content, many viewers focused less on her performance and more on her appearance, describing it as unusual. Some online users even suggested her actions resembled those of a “junky.”
Reacting to the speculation, Olajumoke released another video to clarify the situation.
In the clip, she expressed disappointment over the comments and stressed that her earlier post was simply content creation, not evidence of substance use.
“I saw different, different comments out of the video I did last week, Monday, and I’m not happy about it. Some people said Olajumoke is smoking, Olajumoke is using substances. It’s a content. I just dropped a content. I know some people understand me, but some people don’t understand,” she said.
Olajumoke went on to emphasise that her focus remains on her family and her child’s education, urging fans not to misinterpret her creative expressions.
Watch her video below:
Olajumoke’s story first captured national attention in 2016 when she unknowingly walked into a photoshoot featuring British rapper Tinie Tempah. The session, shot by renowned photographer TY Bello, instantly transformed her life.
The striking image of Olajumoke balancing bread on her head while passing through the frame went viral.
Within days, she landed modelling contracts, media appearances, and brand endorsements.
Her transformation became one of Nigeria’s most talked-about “grass to grace” stories. She later learned English, signed management deals, and attended high-profile events.
