Nollywood icon Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde is not here for the fake news, and she’s making sure everyone gets their facts straight! Amid the devastating Los Angeles wildfires that have tragically claimed lives and destroyed homes, the award-winning actress took to Instagram to clear the air about swirling rumors concerning her movements.
After fans and blogs speculated that she had fled L.A. to escape the flames, Omotola decided it was time to set the record straight. With her signature grace and poise, she thanked fans for their overwhelming love and prayers but firmly shut down the claims. “Let me clarify,” she wrote. “I’ve been in Nigeria since December 2024. The fires in L.A. had nothing to do with my travel.” Boom. Case closed.
Omotola didn’t stop there, though. She poured her heart out for Los Angeles, calling it more than just a city—it’s her second home, a place of dreams and community. Her heartfelt post not only acknowledged the tragedy but also extended thoughts and prayers to first responders and families who have been impacted. Talk about a queen with empathy!
The actress also had a message for the media: stop the misinformation. “I urge media outlets to correct these inaccuracies,” she said. It’s safe to say Omotola has had it with sensationalized headlines, and honestly, who can blame her? Let’s give the woman her flowers for staying transparent in the face of chaos.
Fans flooded her comment section, showing their love and support while dragging outlets for spreading unverified stories. “Reading to comprehend has always been our problem,” one fan wrote. Another added, “We thank God for protecting you and your family! California will rise again.” Leave it to Omotola’s fan base to serve truth and love in equal measure.
For now, Omotola remains in Nigeria, soaking up the love from her homeland while keeping her heart with the people of Los Angeles. With wildfires still raging and the toll climbing, she’s one of the many voices showing solidarity for those affected.
As the queen herself said, “Thank you for your love, but let’s get the facts right.” Iconic, as always.
