A wave of confusion has trailed Nollywood actor Ibrahim Chatta’s recent Instagram post, which many initially interpreted as an announcement of his son’s death.
The actor had earlier today shared an emotional message that read:
"Inna liLlahi wa inna ileyhi rajiun
Ya Allah, You are the Knower of all things.
Rest on Dear Son. Champ."
The post quickly went viral, with fans, colleagues, and followers sending condolences and heartfelt prayers, believing Chatta had lost his child.
However, in a surprising twist, some of the actor’s close colleagues within Nollywood have come out to clarify that the deceased boy was not Chatta’s biological son, contrary to widespread assumptions.
Though details remain sketchy, insiders claimed that the late boy may have been a younger protégé or someone Chatta had a close fatherly relationship with, hence his emotional tribute.
The development has sparked mixed reactions online. While many sympathizers maintain that the grief is genuine regardless of blood ties, others have called for clearer communication to avoid unnecessary public confusion.
As of the time of filing this report, Ibrahim Chatta has not issued any further clarification, leaving fans eagerly awaiting an official statement to put the matter to rest.
