  • A fan accused Omoni Oboli of having inappropriate motives after she announced BBNaija star Chimsom would appear in her upcoming film
  • The troll claimed the actress uses a 'my son' approach to kiss good-looking actors seeking roles
  • The talented filmmaker shot back at the accusation with a swift and dismissive response

Nollywood actress and filmmaker Omoni Oboli has clapped back at a social media user who levelled a disturbing accusation against her following a post about her upcoming project.

The drama began when Omoni took to social media to announce that ex-BBNaija Season 11 housemate Chimsom Chuka would be appearing on her channel, Omoni Oboli TV, ahead of the release of her new film.

In her post, she wrote:

An very beautiful romantic drama that reminds us that we are never forgotten 🙏🏾💯 #PremiumOrNothing."

Troll Targets Omoni Over Chimsom Post

What should have been a straightforward promotional announcement quickly turned into a flashpoint. An internet troll zeroed in on the post and fired off a loaded comment, suggesting the actress had ulterior motives for working with the young star.

The user wrote: "I hope you're not targeting to kiss this boy. That's how you use 'my son' to kiss fine boys that are looking for roles🤷‍♀️."

The comment implied that Omoni uses a maternal persona to take advantage of young male actors who are seeking opportunities in the industry — a claim that was both pointed and provocative.

Omoni Oboli Dismisses the Allegation

Omoni did not let the comment slide, but she also did not engage with any lengthy back-and-forth. Her response was brief and dismissive:

"You certainly aren't talking about me 😂."

The reply, paired with a laughing emoji, signalled that the actress had little patience for the insinuation and was unbothered by the troll's attempt to stir controversy around what she clearly views as a straightforward professional collaboration.
