Nollywood actor Itele D'Icon has stepped into a brewing social media controversy involving Irewole Olaniyan, publicly asking his wife, Beauty by Icon, to stand down from the drama.

The saga began after a married woman accused Irewole Olaniyan of having an affair with her husband.

Beauty by Icon then waded into the dispute, calling Irewole a husband snatcher, a move that apparently caught Itele off guard and left him feeling the need to speak out.

Itele addresses the drama publicly

Taking to social media in his Instagram story on Monday, October 5, 2026, the actor made clear that he had no appetite for the noise. He wrote:

"Dear wife, please stop all this. I'm not in support of it at all. Delete anything that has to do with this drama. I've spoken to you privately about it, but since nothing has changed, let me come out publicly so everyone can help me beg you. Please stop. This is not your fight, and I don't want you involved in it. Dear fans, please let peace reign. I believe she will listen now that I have come out publicly to plead with her. Peace over drama. Always."

The post signalled that Itele had already tried handling things behind closed doors before making his appeal to the public.

Here is the X post made by the actor as he tried to caution his wife:
