A behind-the-scenes video from the photoshoot session of Nollywood actor and comedian Olanrewaju Omiyinka, popularly known as Baba Ijesha, and his wife and stylist, CEO Luminee, has surfaced on social media, drawing significant attention. The highlight of the clip was the actor's chant, which carried a subtle message aimed at his critics, as he eulogised the fashion designer. This development has further intensified the criticism surrounding the recent news of the couple welcoming their first child together.
The video shows a heavily pregnant Luminee, dressed in elaborate traditional attire adorned with cowrie shells, kneeling before Baba Ijesha. In the background, Baba Ijesha can be heard chanting in the Yoruba language, praising his wife while seemingly addressing those who have been critical of their relationship.
Earlier reports indicated that Baba Ijesha and Luminee caused a buzz on social media on Wednesday, June 15, 2026, after jointly releasing pictures and clips announcing the birthday of their first child together, a baby boy named King Kagar Omiyinka. The announcement sparked intense controversy, largely due to the Nollywood actor's criminal record. Baba Ijesha was convicted in 2022 on charges of sexual assault, served his sentence, and was released from prison in November 2025.
In related news, a video from CEO Luminee's surprise baby shower also surfaced on social media, where the presence of Nollywood stars Mercy Aigbe and Eniola Ajao triggered reactions from many online users.
Reactions Trail Baba Ijesha's Subtle Jab
The video has sparked a wave of reactions, with many firing back at the Nollywood actor while others questioned Luminee's decision to stay with him. Below are some of the comments compiled by Legit.ng:
- Kiinnnggg12: "Throwing sub at every woman hating."
- Ainaorosun98: "I have a strong feeling that she will regret this, but I am not certain."
- AMBASSADOR FOR BEANS: "Being on your knees this heavily pregnant for this fool is insane. What did he promise her? Marriage?"

- Itohansulaiman: "Ehen, heavily pregnant on your knees? Walahi, it is either a stunt or charm."

- AbeoBecca: "It shall be well with you? From the mouth of someone who is not well."
Yomi Fabiyi Accuses Baba Ijesha of Betrayal
In a separate development, actor Yomi Fabiyi accused Baba Ijesha of betrayal, claiming that the veteran sent someone to threaten him shortly after leaving prison. Fabiyi explained that this move shocked him deeply because he had stood by Baba Ijesha during his darkest period, even when many others turned away. Yomi recalled how he defended Baba Ijesha throughout the 2021 sexual assault case that eventually led to conviction, and continued to show support after the prison term ended in 2025.
