Nude Photos Of Nollywood Actresses Trend In Social Media …As Omotola Joins Clique
A shocking nude photograph of delectable Nollywood actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has resurfaced on line, setting tongues wagging. It was first published by blogger, Olu Famous. The photo appears to be destined to go viral as it is already being reposted by a number of people.
In the photo, she wears only bra while holding a transparent cloth over her bare buttocks. An inscription eats into Omotola’s left leg brands in the photograph. A number of people have expressed outrage over the photograph.
Omotola, 34, is married to Captain Mathew Ekeinde with four children; the marriage was recently rocked by allegations of infidelity by Omotola which she vehemently denied.
The shocking photo was first published by Olu Famous under the heading “this is just unbelievable, Omotola poses nude:? while underneath appears the comment” I really find it difficult to believe that a respected actress like her would engage in this shameless act”.
On reproducing the photo, broadcaster, Moyo Oyatogun wrote: could this be our Omotola? I saw it on Olu Famous, is this really Omosexy or na photoshop?”.
Posing near nude photos seems to be the trend among some Nollywood actresses as they have kept the social media buzzing taking to their instagram pages, showing their fans and followers how sexy they look in bikini.Actresses like Genevieve Nnaji, Uche Jombo, Chika Ike, Osas Ighodaro are few others that have generated lots of controversy on social media as a result of their controversial posts.
As expected, fans seem disappointed by the actions of these celebrities whom many see as their role models, wondering what the industry is turning into.
Although, posting nude pictures on social media is not new in the entertainment industry, it is now common with Nollywood celebrities. The big issue is, why would highly respected movie stars like Genevieve Nnaji, Uche Jombo, Chika Ike, Osas Ighodaro and others follow the trend?
Shortly after award winning Genevieve Nnaji posted a picture of hers in bikini at the beach on her instagram page, other top female celebrities followed suit.
About a week ago, Uche Jombo posted her nude picture on social media, even as most fans and colleagues did not see this coming. This picture which left fans and colleagues in awe was captioned “Work in progress, not there yet, but beach ready!”
It would be recalled that Sandra Achums,another Nollywood star, had also joined the bandwagon as her nude picture was also recently showcased on the social media.
However, some fans of these Nollywood celebrities have criticised them for posting the embarrassing pictures as they have no choice than to feed their eyes.
As these celebrities take part in the bikini/nude picture challenge, as fans have tagged it, we still believe that Nollywood still has some decent actresses in the industry.
Also, people are wondering what would happen to the younger ones that look up to them. Should they also emulate their lifestyle? Where would Nollywood be in the future? These are some of the unanswered questions on the lips of many.

Funke Akindele’s Behind The Scenes becomes Nollywood’s highest-grossing film of 2025, earning ?1.77bn in under four weeks.
Multi-award-winning actress and producer Funke Akindele has done it again, and this time, the numbers speak louder than applause.
Her latest film, Behind The Scenes, has officially emerged as the highest-grossing Nollywood film of 2025, pulling in an astonishing ?1.767 billion in less than four weeks.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Funke Akindele Makes Box Office History as Behind The Scenes Crosses ?1.77bn
Earlier in its release cycle, the film’s distributor, FilmOne Entertainment, revealed that Behind The Scenes smashed five opening-weekend records, including the highest single-day gross ever recorded on Boxing Day, with ?129.5 million in one day. That announcement already hinted that something unusual was unfolding.
Reacting to the milestone, FilmOne described the moment as both surreal and communal, crediting audience loyalty for pushing the film to the top spot once again as the number-one movie of the weekend. And that sentiment feels accurate. This wasn’t just ticket sales; it was momentum.
What makes this achievement even more striking is that Behind The Scenes is Funke Akindele’s third film to cross the ?1 billion mark. Before now, there was A Tribe Called Judah, and then Everybody Loves Jenifa, a film that didn’t just open big, but went on to become the highest-grossing Nollywood film of all time. At this point, it’s no longer a fluke. It’s a pattern.
Part of Behind The Scenes’ success lies in strategy. The film enjoyed advanced screenings on December 10 and 11, quietly building curiosity and conversation before its nationwide release on December 12. By the time it officially hit cinemas, audiences already felt like they needed to see it.
Then there’s the cast. The film brings together a lineup that feels deliberately stacked: Scarlet Gomez, Iyabo Ojo, Destiny Etiko, Tobi Bakre, Uche Montana, and several others. Familiar faces, strong fan bases, and performances that kept word-of-mouth alive long after opening weekend.
Still, beyond timing and casting, there’s something else at work here. Funke Akindele understands Nigerian audiences. Their humour, their pacing, their emotional buttons. She doesn’t guess, she calculates, experiments, listens, and refines. That understanding has slowly turned into box-office dominance.
Behind The Scenes crossing ?1.77 billion isn’t just another headline; it’s confirmation. Funke Akindele has moved from being a successful actress to becoming one of the most reliable commercial forces Nollywood has ever produced. Three-billion-naira films don’t happen by luck. They happen when storytelling, business sense, and audience trust align.
And right now, that alignment seems firmly in her hands.
Popular Nigerian music stars, Adekunle Kosoko, widely known as Adekunle Gold, and his wife, Simi, have become parents again this time to twins.
The award-winning singer shared the joyful update on his Snapchat story on Wednesday, confirming the expansion of their family.
“Asked God for another child and he blessed me double,” she wrote.
While the couple has not yet disclosed the gender of the newborns, the announcement has sparked an outpouring of warm wishes from admirers, fellow celebrities, and industry colleagues.
Speculation had intensified in December when Simi posted a video on Instagram accompanied by the caption, “From my baby, for my babies.”
The clip showed her with a growing baby bump, fueling anticipation that another child was on the way.
Their latest blessings arrive just weeks after Simi highlighted a scene from Adekunle Gold’s newly released music video, “My Love is the Same,” further stirring excitement among fans.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Adekunle Gold and Simi who tied the knot in 2019 after a long history of friendship and musical synergy remain one of Nigeria’s most admired entertainment power couples. Both artistes were once signed to X3M Music before soaring into mainstream acclaim.
The pair welcomed their first child, Adejare Kosoko, fondly called Deja, in May 2020.
After closing out 2025 with the release of “Praise the Lord” featuring Magnito, Jesse Flames enters the new year with renewed clarity and purpose, continuing to build a body of work rooted in intention rather than noise. In a moment where Afrobeats is moving faster and louder than ever, his approach remains measured and deliberate, prioritizing meaning, craft, and longevity over momentary attention. The official music video arrives January 10.
Following the momentum of his breakout single “FLEX,” “Praise the Lord” represents a shift from celebration to grounding. Reflective and soulful, the record centers gratitude, growth, and perspective, capturing a quieter confidence that resonates beyond a single moment.
“This song is about recognizing the full picture,” Jesse shares. “The work people see and the work they don’t. The lessons, the setbacks, the growth.”
The collaboration with Magnito, a respected voice in Nigerian hip hop known for his sharp lyricism and cultural authenticity, adds depth and weight to the record, reinforcing its themes of resilience, faith, and self reflection.
Released in December at the height of Detty December, “Praise the Lord” became a natural soundtrack for both celebration and reflection as the year came to a close. With the video arriving in January, the record takes on new meaning, opening the year as a tone setter rather than a reset.
Born in the United States, raised in Festac, Lagos, and now based in London, Jesse Flames brings a global perspective to his sound, blending Afrobeats, hip hop, and melodic soul into something sleek and intentional. His music reflects lived experience and cultural nuance rather than trend chasing.
The Tide Entertainment reports that with over 11 million streams, performances at O2 Brixton Academy and OVO Arena Wembley, and coverage from The Guardian and Business Post Nigeria, Jesse’s rise has been steady and self made. Looking ahead to 2026 and 2027, he is preparing for collaborations with Ice Prince, M.I Abaga, and Smurlee.
“Praise the Lord” ft. Magnito is available now on all streaming platforms.
