Following a viral interview with Lucky Udu that sparked widespread public pity and generous donations, many Nigerians naturally assumed that the legendary Papa Ajasco, whose real name is Abiodun Ayoyinka, was finally living comfortably.

However, the veteran actor has firmly burst that bubble, revealing that he is still jumping commercial buses.

The actor recently cleared the air while speaking with media personality Daddy Freeze.

He confirmed that the generous public contributions amounted to roughly six million naira in total, and that most of this money arrived in tiny increments from ordinary concerned citizens.

Papa Ajasco also denied rumours of receiving a new vehicle or a massive $25,000 cash gift.

The veteran explained that curious people actually came to his house looking for the rumoured vehicle at his house.

“I am still trekking and jumping the bus. I did not receive any car; some people came to my house to see the car, and I told them I didn’t see any car.”

Addressing claims by producer Wale Adenuga about him owning a Mercedes-Benz, the actor, now known as Bondu Alaska, clarified that he bought an old model years ago, which is already gone.

Responding to interviewer Lucky Udu’s allegations of gross ingratitude, the veteran maintained his innocence. He noted that he openly appreciated the young man for restoring his faded public visibility.

“After the interview, I appreciated my fans, and I appreciated Lucky Udu. It gave me a new life and a new beginning,” he said.

Ayoyinka added that his recent phone calls to Udu to reconnect simply went entirely unanswered.
