When a rising star finds himself in the same spotlight as one of Nigeria’s most famous families, curiosity is bound to follow. This has been the case for singer Lojay, whose bond with Folashade Adeleke - popularly known as Governor Ademola Adeleke’s daughter and Davido’s cousin sparked weeks of speculation about whether the pair were more than just friends. With whispers flying across social media and gossip blogs dissecting every appearance they made together, fans were eager for a confirmation or denial.
Lojay finally put those rumors to rest in a recent interview that has since dominated entertainment headlines. Speaking with a level of honesty that caught many off guard, he revealed that Folashade is “literally my best friend” and someone he shares a special bond with, but not in the romantic sense. He stressed that she is the only woman within the tight-knit 30BG circle, and their closeness came naturally because of that. “We just clicked,” he said, making it clear that their connection was genuine but not the love affair many imagined.
His explanation did not stop there. Lojay went on to admit that he is simply not ready for a relationship at the moment. The singer confessed that he is in a period of healing and self-reflection, adding that “people need time to heal” before diving back into romance. These words resonated with many who saw a softer, more vulnerable side of the usually private star. In an industry where denial often comes off as scripted or dismissive, his candid tone stood out.
The timing of his statement also fueled conversation. For weeks, gossip blogs had tied his name to Folashade after spotting them at events together, often in playful or comfortable settings. With Davido’s extended family always under a magnifying glass, every smile, shared laugh, or subtle gesture was enough to make fans believe something deeper was going on. It didn’t help that Folashade herself has been a subject of online curiosity, as one of the more stylish and outspoken members of the Adeleke family.
Now that Lojay has spoken, the story takes a different shape. Rather than a scandal, it is a portrait of friendship in an entertainment world where male and female stars are rarely allowed to simply be friends without assumptions. His words highlight a truth that often gets lost in the glamour and gossip that sometimes, companionship and trust mean more than romance. Still, the rumor mill may not quiet down anytime soon. Fans remain divided, with some believing his explanation and others insisting that there might be more to the story than he’s letting on.
Whether or not the public chooses to believe him, one thing is clear: Lojay’s openness has only deepened the intrigue surrounding his personal life. The singer’s career is on a steady rise, and every detail about his circle attracts attention. For now, though, he seems intent on keeping his focus on music and growth rather than love stories. And if his bond with Folashade continues to blossom under the public eye, it is likely to keep tongues wagging whether as friendship or as something more.
At the heart of it, Lojay’s statement is a reminder that not all closeness has to be romantic, no matter how much fans may want to read between the lines. The speculation may continue, but for now, the singer has drawn his line: Folashade Adeleke is his best friend, nothing more.
