    Mohbad’s Widow Denies ‘New Baby’ Claims, Calls It a Smear Campaign

    2025-12-30 11:00:00
    Reporting by TheCable Lifestyle indicates Omowunmi (Mohbad’s widow) has denied claims that she welcomed a second child with another man, describing the allegation as a smear campaign.
    Her reaction followed renewed online chatter, with multiple outlets citing her response and urging the public to disregard the claim.
    The episode shows how quickly misinformation can scale around high-profile grief stories, even without any credible evidence.

    Other outlets carrying the same denial include The Eagle Online: “This smear campaign is funny asf…” and QED.ng: “this smear campaign is funny asf…”, both citing her statement.

    Echotitbits take:
    This story is best treated as rumour-control, not speculation fuel. The denial is direct and consistent across multiple reports. Watch for whether her camp takes legal steps to deter repeat claims and whether platforms reduce amplification of defamatory content.

    In an update published by TheCable Lifestyle, Omowunmi (Mohbad’s widow) dismissed claims that she had welcomed a second child with another man, describing the circulating talk as malicious speculation.

    The controversy spread quickly across X and blogs, with reposts pointing to her social response as the core rebuttal.

    The episode highlights how fast misinformation can grow—and why public figures feel pressured to issue real‑time denials.

    Verification

    • QED.ng (Website): “this smear campaign is funny asf.”
    • Instagram (post quoting her response): “Mohbad wife born ke? This smear campaign is funny asf.”

    Echotitbits take: Rumour cycles around grieving families are especially harmful because they weaponize uncertainty for clicks. Watch next for whether major blogs tighten standards on sensitive claims—and whether platforms curb repeat spreaders of unverified “updates.”
