Controversial show promoter Sam Larry has stirred fresh drama on social media after throwing jabs at Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, following her decision to disable the comment section on one of her Instagram posts.
The move by Iyabo Ojo came shortly after she was accused by outspoken activist Verydarkman of allegedly belonging to a secret WhatsApp group comprising several celebrities. According to the activist, the group was supposedly formed to frustrate his pursuit of justice for late singer Mohbad. He further claimed that members of this group had plotted to get him jailed by manipulating public opinion and authorities.
In her defense, Iyabo Ojo strongly denied all the allegations, labeling them as false and malicious attempts to tarnish her image. Despite issuing a public statement to clear her name, she chose to lock the comment section of the post in question, a decision that many interpreted as her way of dodging the online backlash and scrutiny.
Shortly afterward, she went a step further by taking the entire post down, which further fueled speculation and criticism from social media users.
Reacting to the unfolding drama, Sam Larry, who himself has faced widespread criticism and serious allegations regarding his alleged role in the untimely death of Mohbad, did not hold back. He seized the opportunity to throw subtle but pointed shade at Iyabo Ojo, mocking her approach to handling criticism online.
In a sarcastic message posted to his own social media page, Sam Larry ridiculed her for turning off her comments and seemingly avoiding public engagement.
“Small thing una dey off comment, me way dem say I kill Diego Jota, kill Buhari, I no off comment. Wontu sope mo pa TV 😂😂😂. Please on comment make lovely Nigerians greet you o,” he wrote, suggesting that if he could endure heavy accusations without disabling his comment section, so should others.
