The actress, in a statement on Tuesday, June 3, disclosed she bought the land in 2010.

According to Patience, the landowner was aware of the sale as she was the one who approached her agent to help her find a buyer.

Mama G disclosed that the drama started in 2024 after the previous land owner decided to sell a plot out of her (Mama G) land without her knowledge.

"I got information, went and fenced my land. Next thing I see, the owner and her daughter on social media crying and accusing me of taking the only land their husband and father left them," she said.

Patience, who described the widow and her daughter's actions as blackmail, fraud and malicious intent, disclosed she would be pursuing legal means to vindicate her name, which took years to build.

"There is so much more that I could have done, but I chose to let the law take its course. I am disappointed that some other bloggers reposted and shared the content without due diligence. Now I say to you “Meet Me in Court," she said.
