Lanre Gentry, the estranged husband of Nollywood actress, Mercy Aigbe, has clarified concerns about the paternity of their son, Olajuwon.
Mercy Aigbe raised eyebrows on social media after revealing her new lover, Kazim Adeoti, resembling the actress’s son and her new lover.
Some people called for a DNA test over the striking resemblance.

“My son is my son 100%. I love him so much. There is nothing in this world that can separate me from my children.”

Fans react as Mercy Aigbe unveils her new husband
Reactions have continued to trail the news of actress Mercy Aigbe, who unveiled popular movie marketer and CEO of Ibaka TV, Kazim Adeoti, a.k.a Adekaz, as her new husband.
Mercy tied the knot with Adekaz through Islamic wedding rites called Nikkah.
This is coming years after the actress quit her first marriage to Lanre Gentry.
The mother of two and entrepreneur now goes by the name Hajia Minnah.
She had posted pictures from their pre-wedding session on Instagram with the comment, “It’s my Boo’s birthday in a bit Cc @kazimadeoti thank you for being awesome.”
Adekaz was a friend to Mercy’s former hubby, Lanre Gentry, before she quit the marriage over allegations of physical assault against the latter.
Mercy’s new hubby’s wife and four children are based abroad.
The consummation of the union has now confirmed earlier rumours that Mercy Aigbe was in a romantic relationship with Adekaz.
On her Instagram handle, @realmercyaigbe, the actress described herself and her new hubby as “Alhaji and Hajia Kazim Adeoti”.
“Thank you for being my Peace. My Happiness, May Almighty Allah continue to bless your path and uplift you beyond your imaginations @kazimaseoti @adekazproductions
“Tonight, we turn up”.
But, reacting to the development, some social media users and fans accused Mercy of wrecking Adeoti’s home. In contrast, others supported her, saying the man’s religion entitled him more than a wife.
An Instagram user, @Ololade_x, wrote: “You left ur husband to become a second wife…Mercy no get mercy ooo.”
@Iam_emy wrote: “And she left her hubby because of cheating things. what celebrities can not do does not exist”
@naomikamara wrote: “Dem say d man religion allow am……so she don officially turns two wives…..Yoruba actresses and people husband na 5&6.”
