Nollywood actor and filmmaker, Yomi Fabiyi, has spoken out about his unwavering support for Big Brother Naija Season 10 winner, Imisi, insisting that his intentions are rooted in loyalty and mentorship, not controversy.
Speaking in a recent interview, Fabiyi explained that his relationship with the reality star dates back to years before her fame, describing her as “a daughter in the industry.” He revealed that Imisi was once his student at his film academy, where she displayed passion and discipline from the onset.
“She has been helpful beyond the classroom. She once lived in the same area with me in Ikorodu and has always looked out for me and my son. It’s only right I support her the same way,” he said.
The actor further stated that he would not be deterred by online criticism questioning his closeness to the BBNaija winner.
Reacting to social media comments suggesting his reputation could affect her image, Fabiyi maintained that his support was genuine and borne out of mutual respect.
“Some people have no credibility or pedigree; I don’t give them attention. I know my values, and I stand by those I believe in,” he said confidently.
Fabiyi concluded by expressing pride in Imisi’s growth and success, noting that her victory is proof of hard work and resilience.
