Destiny Etiko has denied rumors of an alleged affair with Matthew Ekeinde, the husband of veteran actress Omotola Jalade.
Etiko addressed the claims during an Instagram Live session, dismissing the reports as false and malicious attempts to damage her reputation.
The rumors had alleged that Matthew bought her a luxury car, but Etiko refuted this, stating that the claims were entirely unfounded.
“If you want to withhold the blessings of God in somebody else’s life and you want to grow, it is impossible. Before, you guys had always spoken ill about me. Do men give money? Even If they do, I do not know.
“I worked for 99.9% of all I have. I don’t know why some people are bitter, perhaps they are scared. I always buy a car on most of my birthdays because I love to change my car every year.
“Some bitter people just sat down and brought the pictures that I took with Omotola’s husband over four years ago when I was on a flight and he was the pilot, so some people were snapping pictures with me. He asked what was happening and they told him I was an actress.
“He looked and I greeted him with the respect of a senior colleague’s husband. I asked him to let us take a selfie because of the respect. We went there and took a selfie and that was it.”
