Ghanaian social media influencer and viral sensation Hajia Bintu has just entered a new chapter in her life with the birth of her first child—
A healthy, bouncing baby boy. The joyous news quickly lit up timelines across Ghana, Nigeria, and beyond, as thousands of fans, celebrities, and fellow influencers sent in their warm wishes and congratulations.
However, what should have been a time of peaceful bonding and private celebration has taken a sharp and unexpected turn. The atmosphere surrounding Hajia Bintu’s delivery has now been clouded by a public and high-profile paternity dispute, drawing in two well-known personalities from the entertainment world—Don Jazzy, a top music mogul from Nigeria, and Overwise, a prominent Ghanaian figure with a growing reputation in entertainment circles.
The Joy of New Life Turns Into a Cross-Border Controversy
Shortly after the announcement of her son’s birth, speculation began to swirl on social media regarding the identity of the baby’s father. While Hajia Bintu has maintained her silence on the subject, it wasn’t long before the rumor mill kicked into overdrive, particularly after Nigerian hitmaker Don Jazzy made a cryptic post hinting at “unfinished business” with someone in Ghana.
Sources close to both parties suggest that this isn’t just celebrity banter. Don Jazzy, known for his charisma and humor, is reportedly demanding a DNA test to determine whether he is indeed the biological father of the newborn. He is said to have cited a “close friendship” and an alleged “past encounter” with Hajia Bintu that could have occurred during one of her visits to Lagos.
On the other side of the drama is Ghana’s very own Overwise, whose name began trending shortly after fans started piecing together past photos and interactions between him and the socialite. Overwise has not made any official statements, but insiders claim he is also ready to assert paternity rights, should the situation escalate.
Fans and Social Media React With Mixed Emotions
As expected, the news has sent both the Ghanaian and Nigerian entertainment scenes into a frenzy. Fans have flooded platforms like Instagram and Twitter with mixed reactions—ranging from supportive messages for Hajia Bintu to sharp criticism of the two men for allegedly turning a private matter into public spectacle.
Some argue that the influencer deserves peace and privacy during this important moment in her life, while others are eagerly awaiting the results of the proposed DNA test to “settle the matter once and for all.” Hashtags like #BintuBabySaga, #WhoIsTheFather, and #DonOrWise have gone viral, dominating trends in both countries.
Behind the Glitz: The Challenges Influencers Face
This unfolding situation also exposes a deeper issue within the influencer and celebrity lifestyle: the blurring of personal and public boundaries. Hajia Bintu, like many social media stars, has built her brand on a mix of beauty, lifestyle content, and relatable charm. Yet, with that fame comes the loss of privacy, relentless speculation, and even unwanted scrutiny into personal relationships.
Moreover, the modern influencer economy is often built around appearances and connections, sometimes giving rise to controversies that can boost engagement but take an emotional toll on those involved. In Bintu’s case, what started as joyous news is now being overshadowed by rumors and public judgment—a reminder that fame isn’t always glamorous behind the scenes.
What Happens Next?
As the buzz continues to grow, many are waiting to see whether Hajia Bintu will make an official statement or agree to a paternity test to end the speculation. Her management team has remained tight-lipped, urging fans to respect her privacy and focus on the positive—her healthy baby boy and her transition into motherhood.
Whether or not the DNA test happens, this moment marks a turning point in Hajia Bintu’s career and public image. From influencer to mother, from beauty queen to potential headline-maker in a celebrity paternity saga, she now finds herself at the center of one of the region’s most talked-about stories.
In an era where social media can elevate someone to stardom overnight, it can just as easily turn private matters into viral gossip. As the dust settles, one thing remains clear—Hajia Bintu’s journey is far from over, and the public will be watching closely.
Whether this episode fades quickly or fuels more drama, the bigger conversation must shift toward respecting women’s choices, ensuring privacy during motherhood, and not letting the thirst for trending stories overshadow someone’s most precious life moments.
