In response to the lawsuit, Iyabo Ojo filed a counterclaim of N1 billion. In a letter dated December 18, 2023, addressed to Naira Marley’s lawyers, the actress’s legal representative stated that the singer’s assertions in his lawsuit were “misleading” and had not been served to their client.

On Tuesday, Tonto Dikeh took to her Instagram page to express her solidarity with Iyabo Ojo. Sharing a copy of Iyabo’s N1 billion counterclaim, Dikeh wrote, “We started together, we end it together. Regardless.”
