Nigerian filmmaker and creator of the iconic TV series Papa Ajasco, Wale Adenuga, has dismissed widespread claims suggesting that the show’s lead character, portrayed by Abiodun Ayoyinka, is broke.
The controversy began after viral reports and social media discussions alleged that the veteran actor, popularly known as Papa Ajasco, was facing financial hardship. The claims sparked concern among fans of the long-running comedy series, which has remained a staple in Nigerian entertainment for decades.
However, Adenuga has now clarified that the narrative is misleading and does not reflect the true situation. According to him, the reports were taken out of context and exaggerated, creating a false impression about the actor’s financial state.
He emphasized that while like many individuals in the creative industry, actors may face challenges, it is inaccurate to label the veteran as “broke.” Adenuga further urged the public and media platforms to verify information before spreading it, noting that such claims can damage reputations and cause unnecessary panic among fans.
The statement has helped calm reactions online, with many supporters expressing relief and calling for more responsible reporting within the entertainment space.
Papa Ajasco remains one of Nigeria’s most beloved sitcoms, known for its humor and social commentary, and continues to hold a strong cultural legacy across generations.
