Nollywood actress Destiny Etiko has responded to rumors that she is romantically involved with Matthew Ekeinde, husband of veteran actress Omotola Jalade. The reports alleged that Ekeinde had bought her a luxury car, sparking controversy online.

However, during an Instagram Live session, Destiny firmly denied these claims, stating that the rumors are false and aimed at damaging her reputation. She clarified that most of her wealth comes from her hard work, not from any man’s gifts.

Destiny explained that the rumor likely started after a picture of her and Matthew was taken years ago on a flight, where he was the pilot. She asked him for a selfie out of respect as he is a senior colleague’s husband, and that was the extent of their interaction.

She added that she often buys new cars on her birthdays as a way of celebrating herself and changing her ride yearly.
