Nollywood actress Doyin Kukoyi has addressed and dismissed rumors of a romantic relationship with veteran actor Taiwo Hassan, widely known as Ogogo.

Origin of the Rumors

“We were on a movie set where Ogogo and I played husband and wife. I posted a picture from the shoot on social media, and some fans assumed we were actually married,” Kukoyi said.

“Even now, many still believe I’m Ogogo’s wife.”
