Veteran Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade Ekeinde made headlines after a fan addressed her by the wrong name on social media. Just recently, an X (formerly Twitter) user identified as Dami Adenuga, posted a video of the actress on his page and called her “Omotola Johnson”.
This was an earlier video the movie star had shared, revealing why she takes breaks from Nollywood intermittently.
Shortly after the X user’s post made the rounds, it drew the actress’ attention and she wasted no time in correcting the error.
According to the award-winning movie star, the fan could have just called her by her first name, Omotola, which she disclosed is already trademarked. In her words:
“Omotola johnson ? Lol… pls just call me … OMOTOLA. It will suffice. It’s Trademarked .”
