Priscilla Ojo Defends Her Father’s Absence Amid Wedding Controversy
Priscilla Ojo, daughter of renowned Nigerian actress Iyabo Ojo, has recently addressed the controversy surrounding her wedding, where her father, Ademidun Ojo, was notably absent.
The wedding ceremony in Tanzania on Friday saw Priscilla tie the knot with her partner, singer Juma Jux, in an Islamic celebration that captured widespread media attention.
However, the absence of her father at such a significant event sparked immediate backlash online, with many critics accusing her of deliberately sidelining him during the wedding preparations.
Rumors began circulating that his nonattendance might indicate a deeper, strained relationship between him and the family, with some suggesting that this could be tied to unresolved issues with his ex-wife, Iyabo Ojo.
In response to the growing criticism, Priscilla took to her Snapchat story on Sunday evening, sharing a screenshot of a video call with her father. This gesture was intended to demonstrate that despite his physical absence at the ceremony, she maintains regular contact with him.
The incident has ignited a broader conversation about family dynamics and the personal choices public figures must make when balancing tradition and modernity.
Many fans and onlookers have expressed their support for Priscilla, noting that the decision to have a video call with her father was a thoughtful way to bridge the gap caused by his absence on the big day.
This controversy is not entirely new to the Ojo family. Back in 2023, Iyabo Ojo revealed in an interview with media personality Toke Makinwa that her marriage with Ademidun had once brought her face-to-face with poverty, adding another layer to the public’s speculation about the current state of their relationship.
