Nollywood actress, Chioma Akpotha, has reacted to claims that she welcomed a bouncing baby boy on New Year's day. The rumors surrounding her supposed childbirth quickly spread across social media, but Chioma was quick to address them.

In a light-hearted and playful tone, Omoni Oboli shared a screenshot of the congratulatory post she saw on Facebook, adding her own sarcastic twist to the rumor. She captioned the post saying, “I’m hearing congratulations are in order for my lovely friend @chiomakpotha on the birth of her bouncing baby boy 🎉🥰 We’ve been on the phone for over 2 hours 30 minutes discussing breastfeeding, naming ceremony, and others. Perhaps we call the baby @thechiomachukwukatv since that’s the only new baby I’m aware of that’s trending! PS: As seen on Facebook! 🤦🏽♀️”
Chioma Akpotha, not missing the opportunity to join in the fun, reacted to the rumors in the comment section of Omoni’s post. She responded with a witty remark, saying, “Oh by the way, on YouTube I have a set of twins 😂.” Chioma’s response added to the humor of the situation, as she joined Omoni in playfully debunking the viral claim.
