Deji Adeyanju Shades Ola of Lagos, Says He Only Rented a Mini Office But Claimed Full Ownership of Car Stand

Popular activist and social commentator, Deji Adeyanju, has stirred online reactions after throwing shade at celebrity car reviewer and influencer Ola of Lagos, claiming the influencer allegedly rented a small office space but went on to portray it as his car stand on social media. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

In a post that quickly went viral on X (formerly Twitter), Adeyanju mocked Ola’s alleged attempt to impress the public, suggesting that social media fame is often built on exaggerated appearances rather than reality.

“He only rented a mini office but went online to claim full ownership of the car stand. 😂😂😂,” Adeyanju wrote, adding several laughing emojis to emphasize the sarcasm.

Fans React: ‘Clout Has Become a Business Model’

Adeyanju’s post immediately drew mixed reactions. While some users found his comment hilarious and blunt, others accused him of targeting a young hustler trying to build his brand.

“Deji just called out the entire Lagos influencer lifestyle with one tweet,” one fan commented.
Another user added, “Clout is now real estate — you rent a corner and call it an empire.”

Some netizens, however, defended Ola of Lagos, noting that renting business space doesn’t necessarily diminish one’s achievements.

“Even big car dealers lease showrooms,” one follower argued. “At least he’s working and not scamming anyone.”

Ola of Lagos Yet to Respond

As of press time, Ola of Lagos has not issued an official response to Adeyanju’s shade. The influencer, who rose to fame through flashy car showcases and luxury lifestyle videos, is known for his energetic personality and extravagant captions — traits that have both earned him fans and critics.

The incident has since fueled a wider discussion on authenticity among influencers, with many Nigerians debating the fine line between branding and deception in the age of social media fame.

“This is why you don’t envy online people,” one commenter warned. “Half of what you see is packaging.”

Whether playful shade or a serious jab, Deji Adeyanju’s post has once again ignited the internet’s favorite pastime — dragging, laughing, and debating over influencer lifestyles in Lagos’ ever-dramatic social media scene.

The heart of man is desperately wicked, the good book says. You'll never know the number of people that wants your downfall until you have some challenges. People will just hate you for being more successful than them.

Deji is trying to use Ola of Lagos to trend. He looks for any hot topic and says something controversial to join a trend. The guy is always looking for cheap publicity. He can even sue me to gain more publicity. He is always looking out for ways to trend. Now that I have said that he will not sue me since I have shown him his strategy
