Why Mercy Aigbe’s Presence at Luminee’s Baby Shower Sparked Backlash
Nollywood actress Mercy Aigbe faced criticism after attending designer Luminee’s surprise baby shower shortly after news of her child with controversial actor Baba Ijesha. Social media users questioned Mercy’s decision, pointing out that Ijesha was released last year after serving time for sexual assault. Some tweets expressed shock at her joyful dancing and singing at the event. Others defended Mercy Aigbe, highlighting her long-standing friendship with Luminee and noting she may not have known the father’s identity. Netizens remain divided over whether celebrating a friend amid scandal crosses a line. For context, Baba Ijesha was imprisoned in 2022 for raping a minor and was released in November 2025.
