CFC Omotayo tweeting as #sheyi_omotayo wrote, “I swear she isn’t telling lies. The church is in my street in Agbado. The way she walks sometimes makes me think it’s her size not knowing she has been sick, people stare at her in the street like she is rich, we didn’t actually know she’s going through a lot.”
#iamtrinityguy who wrote on Instagram said, “Honestly, in this industry, we need to be checking up on each other. This mummy was homeless for some years and nobody knew. It’s so sad to see our legends facing these kinds of conditions.”
