Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has become a topic of discussion on social media following the circulation of a video showing her interaction with fellow actor Oluwole Cole, popularly known as Baraka.
The clip was captured at K1 De Ultimate’s All White Party New Year Fest 5.0, an event attended by several entertainers and public figures. In the video, Iyabo and Baraka were seen exchanging warm greetings, sharing a hug, and having a brief chat, a moment that many online users quickly reacted to.
As the video spread, opinions were divided. While some viewers dismissed the exchange as a normal and friendly encounter between colleagues, others jokingly suggested that Iyabo’s partner, music executive Paul Okoye, also known as Paulo, might not be comfortable with what they saw.
Comments such as “If Oga Paulo see this” and “Paulo no dey like this kind setting” flooded the comment section, adding to the online buzz.
Baraka, who is known for his action-driven and street-style roles in Nollywood films, drew extra attention because of how relaxed and familiar the interaction appeared. However, many fans of Iyabo defended her, insisting the moment was casual, respectful, and far from romantic.
Iyabo Ojo has been in a public relationship with Paulo for several years, often appearing together at events and sharing moments on social media. She has previously explained that both of them are comfortable with their arrangement and are not under pressure to follow traditional expectations, including marriage, at this stage.
