Beyond that accusation, it was a second detail that set social media alight. Tunmise claimed Ivana attempted to heal him using a long pipe as part of a traditional remedy.
That particular claim overshadowed the original allegation and triggered a flood of mixed reactions.
Man speaks about pipe healing process
Royal Tipz, who disclosed he was from Akwa Ibom state, pushed back against people ridiculing the pipe procedure.
He described it as a cultural thing and named it Asang Ukebe, noting that those from Akwa Ibom and Cross River would know it, and added that parents used it on children when they were little and found it effective.
His explanation landed with several other users who recognised the practice from their upbringing, while others remained sceptical or continued to joke about the situation.
Nigerians react to pipe controversy
The reactions from Nigerians that followed the post revealed a clear divide. One person said there was nothing wrong with it and described it as a traditional healing process that older parents would know about.
Another stated that if it was cultural, it was not meant to be treated as a joke.
Taraa said:
"Don't let them lie to you, there's nothing wrong with it. It's just a traditional healing process. Ask your old parents of it."
Cheers said:
