Nollywood actress Opeyemi Aiyeola has set the record straight concerning reports that her colleague, Ibrahim Chatta, lost his biological son. In a clarifying statement, Aiyeola explained that while the actor is indeed mourning, the deceased was not his direct child but rather a godson who was like a son to him.

According to Opeyemi Aiyeola, “Ibrahim Chatta did not lose his biological son but a godson who was like a son to him. May his soul Rest In Peace.” Her words were meant to address the growing confusion and speculation surrounding Chatta’s recent social media posts, which had sparked widespread condolences and rumors about the alleged loss of his son.

Ibrahim Chatta, one of the most respected actors in the Yoruba movie industry, has always maintained a close bond with his extended family, friends, and protégés. This has often blurred the lines between his biological family and the many young people he has mentored and loved as his own. The late godson, though not his blood child, reportedly shared an intimate father-son relationship with the actor, which explains why many assumed it was his biological son.

This clarification from Opeyemi Aiyeola is significant because misinformation spreads quickly in the Nollywood space, often leading to unnecessary emotional stress for celebrities and their families. Chatta’s grief is real and profound, regardless of biological ties, as the young man played a vital role in his life.

Fans and industry colleagues have continued to shower the actor with words of comfort, prayers, and support as he navigates this painful loss. For many, the situation also highlights the importance of accurate reporting and respecting the emotional boundaries of grieving families in the entertainment industry.
