The cousin of Davido, Adenike Adeleke, has responded to circulating dating rumors with fast-rising Afrobeats sensation Young Jonn.
Recall that some photos purportedly of Young Jonn and Nikos sharing a passionate hug went viral online a few days ago.
In the widely shared images, the “Big Big Things” singer is seen sitting with Nikos and giving him a passionate embrace.
The pictures soon went viral on social media, arousing a lot of speculation among fans and internet users.
Adenike responded to the mounting rumors by posting more eye-catching pictures of herself and Young Jonn from the same occasion on her X (formerly Twitter) profile.
She wrote;
“Jiggy Living,”
In addition to sharing these pictures, Adenike also addressed the rumors more directly in a series of tweets. She explained that the photos were taken during a casual meet-up and that there was nothing romantic about the situation. According to Adenike, the embrace seen in the viral photos was simply a friendly gesture captured at an opportune moment, leading to the speculation.
“People are quick to jump to conclusions without understanding the full context. Young Jonn is a friend, and we were just enjoying a good time together. There's no romantic involvement between us,” Adenike clarified in one of her tweets.
Young Jonn also took to his social media to dispel the rumors, echoing Adenike’s sentiments. He stated that he and Adenike share a platonic friendship and that the public should not misconstrue their camaraderie. He appreciated the support from his fans but urged them to respect his and Adenike's personal lives.
“Adenike and I are good friends, and that's all there is to it. Let’s focus on the music and keep the vibes positive,” Young Jonn posted.
Despite their clarifications, the viral nature of the photos continues to stir discussions online, with fans and followers offering mixed reactions. Some supporters have praised Adenike and Young Jonn for addressing the rumors head-on, while others remain skeptical, fueling further debates on social media platforms.
Adenike's decision to post additional pictures and her straightforward responses highlight her desire to maintain transparency and truthfulness with her followers. As she continues to share moments from her life, she hopes to shift the focus back to her personal and professional achievements rather than unfounded rumors.
“Jiggy Living,” as Adenike captioned her post, signifies her intent to live life to the fullest, unbothered by the rumor mill, and to continue building her identity independently of her famous cousin's shadow.
