Adeoti’s unveiling has continued to elicit an avalanche of reactions on social media, with users expressing different views.
Aigbe’s move comes about four months after Gentry also announced his marriage to Oluwabusayo, his new lover.

Some Nigerians reacting to the development had advised Gentry to conduct a DNA test to confirm that he is the biological father of their child.
The suggestions had come after some social media users claimed Juwon and Adeoti look alike.
Reacting in an Instagram post on Monday, Gentry said Juwon is “my son 100%”, adding that no one can separate him from his children.
He wrote;
What is life? I thank everyone for your comments and advice about my lovely son, Olajuwon Gentry. My son is my son 100%. I love him so much. There is nothing in this world that can separate me from my children.

Gentry shared an old photo of himself, Aigbe, Kazim and and an unidentified woman said to be Kazim’s wife.
The photo — said to have been taken while the pair were still together — is believed to be a subtle dig at the actress.
In a terse post accompanying the photo, the entrepreneur and self-acclaimed philanthropist said “thank God the truth is out”, insinuating his former wife was cheating.
He also said the photo is “just one out of many”. Gentry disabled reactions to the post, saying “I don’t need anyone’s comment.”
“At least I thank God the truth is out, this is just one out of many to God be the glory. I don’t need anyone’s comment,” he wrote on Instagram.

In 2017, the actress separated from Lanre Gentry, her ex-husband, over alleged domestic violence and infidelity.
The pair have been at loggerheads since then. In June last year, they reignited their lingering feud over a post by the actress on Father’s Day.
