The complex co-parenting relationship between comedian Oga Obinna and his fourth baby mama, Tallie, has taken a sharp turn into the public eye following a series of conflicting statements regarding the birth of their daughter, Ella. On Wednesday, January 14, 2026, Tallie took to social media to issue a firm rebuttal after Obinna revisited the circumstances of their child’s conception during a high-profile interview with content creator Naomi Kuria.
The drama unfolded on Obinna’s YouTube channel when Naomi questioned his romantic intentions, pointedly asking why he was pursuing her while expecting another child. In a defensive explanation, the YouTuber claimed he had not been ready for a fifth child. He went on to allege that Tallie had removed her birth control without his knowledge and asserted that he only became aware of his daughter’s existence a full year after she was born, despite his purported efforts to prevent the pregnancy at the time.
Tallie, visibly frustrated by the recurring narrative, used a live broadcast to address the “dark cloud” she believes Obinna is casting over their daughter’s life. She faulted the media personality for constantly rehashing the intimate details of Ella’s conception, arguing that his public comments are detrimental to the young girl’s future and personal brand.
“I do not want her progress as a child and as the star that she is meant to be to be constantly overshadowed by this narrative,” Tallie stated. “I want her to shine, and she cannot shine as long as there is this dark cloud purportedly hanging over her every single time.”
The mother of one emphasized that she was not the one who brought these private matters into the social media space and pleaded for the focus to shift toward Ella’s individuality rather than the controversy surrounding her birth. As a rising “star” in her own right, Tallie believes the child deserves to build a reputation free from the baggage of her parents’ past disagreements. While Obinna has built a career on radical transparency, this latest clash highlights the growing tension between digital storytelling and the privacy of the children involved.
