Wunmi Aloba, the widow of the late Afrobeats star Ilerioluwa ‘Mohbad‘ Aloba, has come forward to address the rumors circulating about her, particularly concerning a possible pregnancy and accusations that she has ‘moved on too quickly’ following the death of her husband. The rumors began to surface after a discussion on media personality Baba Latisneh’s TikTok, where individuals raised questions about her loyalty to Mohbad’s memory and speculated about her personal life.
These allegations sparked a wave of backlash, with some critics suggesting that Wunmi had not spent enough time grieving her late husband and accusing her of moving on too fast. The debates that followed questioned how long a widow should grieve before being allowed to continue with her life, creating a larger conversation on societal expectations for mourning and personal healing.
On October 11, Wunmi took to Instagram to publicly respond to the criticism. In her post, she made it clear that she values her own personal experience over the opinions of others, stressing that the way her life feels to her is far more important than how it might appear to people on the outside. Her statement emphasized the importance of staying true to oneself and not allowing the weight of public opinion to dictate how one should live or heal.
In her post, Wunmi wrote, “I am way more interested in how my life feels to me, than how it looks to others,” offering a message of resilience and self-assurance amidst the scrutiny she has faced.
Despite the criticism, Wunmi’s message of self-truth has resonated with many, serving as a reminder that grief and personal healing are individual journeys, and no one should feel pressured to meet societal expectations in such deeply personal matters.
