Ini Edo, a veteran Nollywood actress has denied rumors that she was in a relationship with Josh Wade Empress Njamah's ex-lover and notorious scammer and blackmailer.

Gistlover - a controversial Instagram blogger - had claimed that the actress and Njamah’s ex-lover Josh Wade were romantically involved before it was revealed that Wade is a scammer. He enters relationships with women in order to defraud or cheat them.

Gistlover posted a recording of the video call between George Wade, and Ini Edo. They also shared a photo of her passport, which was reportedly found in his phone when he had been arrested in Liberia.

Ini Edo's colleague, Nkechi Blessing, while replying to a fan, also confirmed the reports that Ini Edo had a relationship with Josh.

However, reacting to the rumor during an Instagram live session, Ini Edo denied ever being in a relationship with Josh Wade.

She explained that Josh had contacted her between September and October last year, stating that he wanted her to be part of a film project he was working on. However, he later moved from the movie discussion and asked to be in a romantic relationship with her.

She said that all through their conversations, she had no idea he was in a relationship with Empress Njamah.

She also mentioned that Josh asked for her passport so he could book her flight to South Africa, where she had a business engagement at the time. She sent him the passport details, but they never met.

She revealed that he called her once on a video call, which she ended as soon as she realized it was him and she had no idea that he recorded the call and kept it.

Ini Edo, who reiterated that she never had any romantic relationship with Josh Wade, debunked the rumors as false and revealed that she eventually blocked him when she realized he was getting personal and had no movie project for her, as he claimed when they started talking.
