Femi Apefe Reacts to Claims Linking Him to Late Aunty Ajara’s Pregnancy

By George Omagbemi Sylvester

In a widely circulated video on Friday, March 13, 2026, Nollywood actor Femi Apefe publicly addressed rumours linking him to the alleged pregnancy of the late social media personality known as Aunty Ajara. The clip, which has gained significant attention on social media and YouTube, shows Apefe strongly denying any involvement in the claims that were spread online following her death.

From the outset, Apefe described the allegations as baseless, urging the public not to attach his name to unverified speculation. He emphasised the importance of factual reporting and reminded followers that rumours can quickly escalate into harmful narratives that affect real people’s lives and reputations.

This incident highlights a broader challenge in Nigeria’s digital space: how quickly misinformation can spread, especially when celebrities or public figures are involved. In the absence of verified facts, social media speculation can dominate discourse, forcing individuals like Apefe to respond and defend themselves publicly.

Analysts say cases like this reveal the need for both social media users and content creators to prioritise accuracy and restraint when discussing sensitive matters; particularly where personal loss and unconfirmed claims are concerned.
