Nollywood actress Destiny Etiko has addressed recent rumors suggesting that Captain Matthew Ekeinde, husband of her colleague Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, gifted her a car.
In a statement, Etiko firmly denied the claim, asserting, “The last I checked, 99.9 percent of what I’ve achieved in my life I freaking did it myself with my full chest.” She expressed confusion over why people would spread such falsehoods, saying, “I don’t know why some people are bitter.”
Etiko clarified that her love for changing cars annually often leads to speculation. She recounted a past encounter with Captain Ekeinde during a flight where he was the pilot, and she, a passenger, took a selfie with him out of respect. “Most of my birthdays, I love to buy a car because I love to change cars every year. Some bitter people…sat down and brought pictures of Omotola’s husband that I took with him over four years ago,” she said.
She emphasized that she hasn’t had any interaction with Captain Ekeinde since that time. “I’ve never met Omotola all my life. I only watched her growing up. I’ve never met her son all my life,” Etiko noted.
Addressing her critics, she urged, “Leave the man in his house alone. Leave our beautiful legend Omotola alone. Leave the son alone,” and warned those envious of her success to focus on their own lives.
