Oluwo of Iwo’s former wife, Chanel Chin, has hit back at the monarch following his recent comments involving the Ooni of Ife. In her response, Chin described the Oluwo as a “deadbeat father” who has failed to take responsibility for their child. She claimed that his statements about other traditional rulers were hypocritical, given his own personal shortcomings.
According to Chanel, the monarch’s public remarks are meant to gain attention rather than address real issues. She expressed disappointment that instead of focusing on his duties as a leader, he often engages in unnecessary controversies. Chanel emphasized that her concern has always been about the well-being of their child, whom she says the Oluwo has abandoned financially and emotionally.
Her reaction has stirred mixed reactions online, with many Nigerians taking sides over the renewed tension between the former couple. Some social media users criticized the monarch for allegedly neglecting his family responsibilities, while others accused Chin of trying to tarnish his reputation.
The Oluwo has yet to officially respond to the new allegations, but insiders suggest the royal palace is considering a formal statement to address the matter. The issue has once again put the monarch in the public spotlight, reigniting debates about the private lives of traditional rulers.
