Key points:
- Queen Chanel rejects links to the Ooni and clears his name. She says a Lagos king first brought her to Mr Akanbi.
- She says Oluwo stayed away from their son for five years. He showed up in August and left only $500.
- She urges calm co-parenting and respect for Yoruba throne lines. She asks chiefs to warn Oluwo to stop harsh words.
Queen Chanel has set the record straight today. She shared a short press note on her page. The post rebuts the Oluwo’s viral talk last week. It also shields the Ooni of Ife from any blame.

Her note speaks in clear and firm terms. She calls the claims false and bad for tradition. The words, she says, hurt the Yoruba throne line. Fans now ask both sides to keep the peace.
Ooni of Ife claim
Chanel says the Ooni did not link her to Oluwo. A Lagos king made the first link, not the Ooni. She calls that king her “royal dad” with deep respect. She says he never pushed her to Oluwo with bad aim.
She recalls warm trips to that Lagos home with joy. Oluwo joined her there with baby Prince Oduduwa. The monarch’s queen also shared those kind, calm meets. None of it, she says, held any dark plan. Days ago, Oluwo raised a poison plot claim. Last week, Ooni led an Olojo rites update from Ile-Ife.
Oluwo of Iwo and their child
Chanel says Oluwo left their boy for five years. He then showed up in August this year in Canada. She says he refused to sign the passport forms. He dropped $500 and walked away from the task.
She adds that this was the first cash since the split. Since then, she says, she raised the child alone. She still asks for calm, fair co-parenting at all times. She holds the Yoruba people in deep love and care.
Her last line pleads with the public for sense. She asks folks to bin false tales against the Ooni. She also wants chiefs to warn Oluwo on harsh talk. She says the throne must stand clean and well kept
