The Nigerian entertainment scene is no stranger to drama, and the latest buzz has actress Lizzy Anjorin at its center.
In a recent post shared by Instablog9ja on April 20, 2025, Anjorin stirred the pot by alleging that her "white wedding concept" was copied during the high-profile wedding of Priscilla Ojo, daughter of Nollywood star Iyabo Ojo, to Tanzanian music sensation Juma Jux.
The wedding, which took place on April 17, 2025, in Lagos, was a glamorous affair that drew significant attention, with notable figures like Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke in attendance.
Dubbed #JP2025, the event featured a traditional ceremony that captivated social media audiences, setting the stage for Anjorin's controversial remarks.
Anjorin's accusation came with a pointed question: “Why are you using your daughter’s wedding to compete with me?” Her claim suggests that the aesthetic or theme of Priscilla’s wedding mirrored her own, though she provided no concrete evidence to support this.
The statement, shared via Instablog9ja—a popular Nigerian gossip platform known for amplifying celebrity stories—quickly sparked reactions.
Many users on X dismissed Anjorin’s comment as unnecessary drama, with some, like @omohs_pot, suggesting she might need "medical attention" for her reaction, while others, like @Rahmonade15, humorously noted her lack of support on the platform, saying, “No even one person dey support lizard 🦎.”
This incident underscores the competitive undercurrents in Nigerian celebrity culture, where lavish weddings often double as public spectacles.
Priscilla’s wedding, for instance, was a trending topic, with clips of the groom’s grand entrance and the bride walking down the aisle flooding social media.
Such events are not just celebrations but also opportunities for celebrities to reinforce their status, which might explain Anjorin’s reaction.
However, her history of outspokenness—such as her 2020 comments on polygamy in Islam, where she stated that a court wedding doesn’t prevent a man from marrying another woman—suggests she’s no stranger to stirring controversy.
This latest claim could be a bid for relevance, especially since Instablog9ja, a platform thriving on Instagram’s content-friendly environment (used by 58.1% of male Nigerians, per Statistica), often fuels such rivalries for engagement.
Without proof of concept theft, Anjorin’s shade appears more like a calculated move to stay in the spotlight amidst the buzz of #JP2025.
