Nollywood actress Destiny Etiko has refuted claims that Matthew Ekeinde, husband of renowned actress Omotola Jalade, gifted her a luxury car. The rumors, which surfaced on TikTok, suggested that Etiko had an affair with Ekeinde, who supposedly gave her the car for her birthday last week.
In a video posted on her Instagram, Etiko addressed the allegations and expressed frustration over the attempts to damage her reputation. She clarified that the photo circulating, which includes Ekeinde, was taken over four years ago. According to Etiko, the encounter occurred when Ekeinde was a pilot on a flight she was on. She explained that they took a selfie together out of respect after he inquired about her profession.
Etiko emphasized her independence, stating, “I have worked for 99.9% of all I have. I did it all myself with my full chest.” She also mentioned that she regularly buys a new car for herself on her birthdays as a personal tradition.
