Chinonso Ukah, the skit maker better known as Ada Jesus, has denied claims that she had sexual affair with Dino Melaye, the politician.
The drama started in January after Nedu Wazobia, the on-air personality (OAP), on his podcast, said he met “two influencers having a threesome with someone that I know at the Transcorp Hilton hotel in Abuja”.
Following Nedu’s claim, a blog uploaded a photo collage of Melaye alongside Ada Jesus and Amarachi ‘Ashmusy’ Amusi, her colleague.
This sparked a wave of mixed reactions on social media.
In a recent interview with Chude Jideonwo, the skit maker said she was going about her business when the rumours of the affair hit the internet.
“I was looking for how to edit my skit, I was hustling. Then someone just called me, ‘this blog don carry you oh!’ I went to check it then I saw myself, with Dino in the middle, and I saw a ‘threesome’. Next thing my friends call came in, asking what happened,” she said.
“I was shaking because I didn’t know how to explain to my mother that this is not true. How do you explain to people that you did not do it because they were not there with you.
“If you google our name now, you will see a poster of I, Ashmusy and the man in the middle. It was annoying.”
Ada Jesus said she has never met the politician.
She added that to prove her innocence, she contacted the blog that started the rumour to provide proof of their allegation.
“Because I know I am so innocent, I went to their DM and told them ‘God will punish you for this thing, you will die’. Later on, I summoned courage, “Nonso, you didn’t do this thing”. I don’t know the blogger, but whoever is behind it, bring proof,” she said.
“You cannot accuse me just to give your blog a little pop. Maybe the blog was already dying, and they want something that would make it trend again. I didn’t like the idea of that, but then again good or bad publicity, it’s all publicity.
“Me? I have not seen him as a fan, like how my friend said she saw him and recorded him. If I see him, I’ll go and hold his leg. I have never met this man before, that is the honest truth.”
Melaye had earlier denied knowing the skit makers. He also threatened a lawsuit against the blogger.
“I will sue you this time. Will locate you. I don’t know any of these ladies. Agent of APC,” he had written.
