Iyabo Ojo Sparks Controversy After Inviting Lizzy Anjorin’s Ex-godmother to Grandson’s Party

  • A concerned fan called out Iyabo Ojo for welcoming Elizabeth Obanla, Lizzy Anjorin's former godmother, to her grandson's birthday party in Lagos

  • Social media users are divided over whether Iyabo made a power move or showed a lack of self-respect

Iyabo Ojo found herself at the centre of a heated online debate after she extended an invitation to Elizabeth Obanla, the former godmother of her long-standing rival Lizzy Anjorin, at her grandson Rakeem Ayomide Mkambala's birthday celebration held in Lagos on 29 August 2026.

The event, which drew several prominent faces from the Nigerian entertainment industry, turned into a talking point after a concerned fan publicly questioned the actress's decision to welcome someone who reportedly once allied with Lizzy Anjorin to rain curses on Iyabo and her children.

Fan Blasts Iyabo Over the Invite

In a lengthy call-out that quickly gained traction online, the fan did not hold back, accusing Iyabo of chasing clout and lacking personal boundaries.

The fan pointed to the treatment Iyabo's daughter received from the same camp, referencing the controversy involving Juma Jux, and argued that the consequences of such associations would have been far more severe if certain cultural factors were at play.

"Aunty Iyabo, you are doing too much. See someone who has once cursed you, your children, and said different things about you. Because the person is no longer benefiting where she is, she came to meet you, and you still welcomed her. Don't you have privacy? Look at Mercy Aigbe and Funke Akindele, nau. They just accuse them of being proud. Do your thing. I can't choose for you, but at the same time, it's not making any sense," the fan wrote.
