Nollywood actor Akin Olaiya has broken his silence with a cryptic Instagram post amid the ongoing drama surrounding the collapse of his marriage to Nafisat Hammed. The actor, who married in Oyo State in 2025, shared a music video that appears to address his critics, but fans focused more on the song's lyrics than the video itself.
Cryptic Message Accompanied by Fuji Music
In a post on his Instagram page, Olaiya shared a video featuring a song by fast-rising Fuji singer Yeesha Ladybarry, popularly known as Lady Barry. The lyrics seemed directed at those condemning him for his failed marriage. He wrote: 'People should not change their decisions out of fear of society. Society can only offer advice and cannot provide food for them.' The actor had earlier released a statement explaining that he had moved on after efforts to reconcile with his wife failed.
Fans React to the Post
Many fans expressed disappointment, with some referring to Olaiya as 'Jonasi'—a term associated with cheating, infidelity, manipulation, and greed. Commenters repeatedly asked whether Lady Barry was the woman rumored to be his new partner. Others praised the singer's vocal ability, comparing her talent to that of her legendary father. One user, @bumps_oba, wrote: 'Hmmm were no go fit talk incoming lati suebebe nah the bleaching wey you Dey bleach still Dey make you feel say time Dey your side o dale ki oni umbrella e to mo pe eru lohun ru no discipline.' Another, @upson23414, said: 'Good voice and better message. Na she be the bestie?'
Allegations of Betrayal Surface
Videos and voice notes allegedly belonging to Olaiya's estranged wife surfaced online, in which her friends accused the actor of infidelity. They claimed he became involved with a woman who was reportedly one of his ex-wife's bridal maids. The friends alleged betrayal, stating that the new bride served as a bridesmaid during Nafisat's wedding before taking over the husband. They confirmed that Nafisat was not forced into the marriage but noted she looked upset on her wedding day due to an early morning incident.
Nafisat Hammed's Figurative Response
Olaiya's estranged wife also reacted to reports about their separation. She spoke figuratively about the situation, and many social media users claimed to understand the message she was conveying. The drama continues to unfold, with fans closely watching the actor's next move.
