Jasmine Okafor, the adopted daughter of the late veteran actor Mr. Ibu, has come under fire amid accusations of changing the actor’s TikTok account, which boasted 1.1 million followers, to her name.
The untimely passing of the actor due to cardiac arrest following complications from surgery shocked many. However, controversy arose when blogger Tosin Silverdam accused Jasmine of swiftly personalizing Mr. Ibu’s TikTok account, raising suspicions about her foreknowledge of his demise.
Silverdam questioned Jasmine’s motives for claiming ownership of the actor’s account, which she had previously managed on his behalf. Additionally, he pointed out the deletion of all Mr. Ibu’s videos from the platform.
While some defended Jasmine, citing her past contributions to the actor’s social media presence, others criticized her actions and expressed concern over the handling of the situation, particularly in light of previous tensions within the family.
The incident has sparked diverse reactions, with some calling for TikTok to intervene and others urging empathy and understanding towards Jasmine during this challenging time.
