Dayo Amusa Forgives TikTok Creator Who Falsely Accused Her of Having HIV

Nollywood actress Dayo Amusa has announced that she has forgiven the TikTok content creator who falsely accused her of being HIV positive.

In July, Amusa had threatened legal action against Olaoluwa Segun, known on TikTok as unofficial_olas001, after he listed her among five Nigerian actors he alleged were living with HIV.

The actress swiftly debunked the claim, explaining that the creator had lifted a 2019 post in which she publicly shared her HIV-negative status to encourage fans to get tested. At the time, Amusa condemned the misinformation.

She said,“Why do content creators and bloggers post unverified information? I have families and friends who read all these lies. He will be my scapegoat and serve as a lesson to others. I am HIV negative.”

However, in a video shared on her Instagram page on Monday, Amusa revealed she had chosen to forgive Segun. She said her decision was influenced by compassion after learning that he had recently lost his mother, meeting his relatives, and discovering that he is only 27 years old.
