Nigerian entertainment circles have been rocked by the explosive public fallout between popular skit maker Oluwadolarz (real name Ogunleye Olamide Babatunde) and his estranged fiancée IfeLuv, with both parties trading serious accusations that have captivated social media audiences.
The relationship drama took a dramatic turn on March 11 when IfeLuv, speaking from what she claimed was her hospital bed following an appendix surgery, leveled serious allegations against the comedy star. She accused Oluwadolarz of betraying her trust through infidelity with one of his frequent collaborators, an actress identified as Lola, while she was recovering from a medical procedure.
IfeLuv didn’t stop at infidelity accusations. She further painted Oluwadolarz as financially irresponsible, suggesting his behavior had negatively impacted their relationship and family dynamics. The public nature of these claims quickly drew attention across Nigerian social media platforms, with fans and followers taking sides in the increasingly bitter dispute.
Lola, caught in the crossfire of these allegations, wasted no time defending herself. The actress categorically denied any romantic involvement with Oluwadolarz and publicly urged IfeLuv to leave her out of their personal conflicts, maintaining that her relationship with the skit maker was strictly professional.
After initially maintaining silence amid the brewing storm, Oluwadolarz finally broke his silence on the evening of March 18, delivering a comprehensive response that has only intensified public interest in the unfolding drama. He began by expressing gratitude to supporters who had stood by him during what he described as a difficult period.
In a surprising counterattack, Oluwadolarz cast doubt on the legitimacy of IfeLuv’s reported medical condition. He pointed to what he considered inconsistencies in her behavior following the purported surgery, noting that she had appeared on a TikTok live session shortly after the procedure and had consumed spicy food the following day—behaviors he suggested were incompatible with genuine post-surgical recovery.
“The issues didn’t just start today,” Oluwadolarz stated in his lengthy response. It all started a while ago when I declined participating in staged controversy videos and pranks because I felt it would compromise my brand.
His statement painted a picture of long-simmering tensions that had finally boiled over into the public sphere. The skit maker accused IfeLuv of deliberately manipulating the narrative to position herself as a victim, expressing concern that her actions could potentially damage his professional reputation and public standing.
Perhaps most damaging was his allegation that IfeLuv had been methodically collecting evidence against him for years, suggesting premeditated intent to eventually use such material against him. “I have screenshots to support this,” he claimed. “Since then, it’s been clear that she’s been waiting for an opportunity to publicly drag me and achieve her aim.”
In one particularly pointed comment, Oluwadolarz questioned IfeLuv’s motives: “Can anyone explain why would the mother of my child record and keep a video of me apologizing to her parents just because I wanted access to my son?
The skit maker also moved to defend Lola’s reputation, stating that contrary to IfeLuv’s claims of an illicit relationship, IfeLuv herself had personally invited Lola to participate in several video productions in the past. This contradiction, according to Oluwadolarz, undermined the credibility of the infidelity allegations.
Behind the sensational headlines lies a complex situation involving co-parenting, as the former couple share a child together. Oluwadolarz expressed concern about the long-term implications of the public dispute, noting that “my son will eventually grow up and as we all know the Internet never forgets,” suggesting his public response was partly motivated by a desire to set the record straight for his child’s future understanding.
The entertainment industry in Nigeria has been watching the unfolding drama closely, with several colleagues reportedly reaching out to Oluwadolarz privately to offer support and counsel moderation in his response. “I appreciate all colleagues that reached out to make sure I do not over react nor feel bad about the whole drama,” he acknowledged.
Social media platforms continue to buzz with commentary as followers of both personalities dissect every statement, looking for inconsistencies or evidence to support either party’s claims. The hashtags related to the dispute have trended consistently since the initial accusations were made public.
Industry observers note that public breakups among Nigerian entertainment figures have become increasingly common in the social media age, with private disputes rapidly transforming into public spectacles. The Oluwadolarz-IfeLuv situation represents yet another example of how personal relationships in the public eye can quickly become fodder for online discourse and division among fan bases.
As both parties continue to present their versions of events, the situation remains fluid, with the possibility of additional revelations or developments. Neither Oluwadolarz nor IfeLuv has indicated any willingness to resolve their differences privately, suggesting this public dispute may continue to unfold in the days ahead.
For now, fans and followers remain divided, with support lines largely drawn based on pre-existing allegiances to either the popular skit maker or his estranged partner. The controversy has, if nothing else, demonstrated the powerful role social media now plays in shaping public perception during relationship breakdowns among public figures.
