Renowned Nollywood icon Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde recently revealed the charming backstory behind her widely recognized moniker, “Omosexy.”
The celebrated actress shared the intimate details during a candid conversation on Naija FM, unraveling the mystery of how the nickname came to be.
Contrary to popular belief, the actress disclosed that the playful title wasn’t coined by fans or fellow industry professionals. Instead, it was her loving husband, Captain Matthew Ekeinde, who first affectionately branded her with the now-iconic name.
The Screen Goddess recounted how her spouse commemorated a special gift—a sleek Lincoln Navigator—by personalizing its license plate with “Omosexy,” sealing its place in entertainment history.
The radio host inquired: “The name Omosexy – whose brilliant idea was it? Did fans create it? Did you name yourself? Or perhaps your industry colleagues?”
With a warm laugh, Omotola responded: “That sweet nickname came straight from my darling husband…he surprised me with this fabulous SUV and made it official by plating it!”
From that romantic gesture emerged a signature alias that has defined Omotola’s star power for decades, cementing its status as an inseparable part of her legendary showbiz persona.
