Fayose noted the movie star eventually called him and lashed at him, called him poor, accused him of chasing clout before ending the call abruptly.

Reacting in an Instagram live video, Ojo stated ‘her hand was forced to reply’ basically for two reasons.

I really wanted to ignore this but I noticed a lot of people have been tagging me regarding the video Isaac Fayose made about my restaurant. I just want to clear the air for two reasons. One, for my darling customers and two, for those (my fans) who feel I need to address it,” the mother of two began.

She claimed while all that was ongoing, several persons sent her same video via Whatsapp and told her Fayose shared it on his status.

According to Ojo, she became enraged that he still wanted their complimentary package and an apology after taking his pound of flesh by sharing the video on his Whatsapp status for all his contacts to see.

She accused him of attempting to ruin her business wondering why he shared the video when plans were already ongoing to redress the situation.
