Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has ignited discussions on social media after a video of her interacting closely with fellow actor Oluwole Akeem Cole, popularly known as Baraka, surfaced online.
According to Gossip News Now, the actors were attending the All-White New Year Party Fest hosted by veteran musician King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly called K1 De Ultimate.
In the clip shared by CityEdgeTV on Instagram, Baraka, well-known for his rugged, street-style roles in Nollywood, was seen greeting Iyabo Ojo with a hug before engaging her in conversation.
During their exchange, Baraka wrapped his arms around Iyabo Ojo’s waist and at one point held her in a brief, tighter embrace before letting go.
The video quickly drew reactions from netizens. While some dismissed the interaction as playful and friendly, others suggested that Iyabo Ojo’s husband, Paulo Okoye (Paulo), might not appreciate the closeness displayed.
