British-Ugandan model Eva Apio has sparked major conversation across social media platforms after publicly denying rumours suggesting she was romantically involved with Nigerian Afrobeats star Asake.

The buzz started on Sunday, May 16, 2025, when a photo of Eva and Asake surfaced online, showing them dressed in coordinated outfits during a stylish appearance in Paris. A popular X (formerly Twitter) user posted the image with the caption: “Asake and his girlfriend, Eva Apio,” — a statement that immediately caught fire online.

The tweet quickly went viral, with fans and followers fawning over the duo, convinced they were a couple. But Eva wasted no time shutting it down. Quoting the viral post, she wrote a direct and emphatic response: “I was never his girlfriend.”

The denial, although brief, triggered a fresh wave of commentary, splitting social media in half. Some users expressed disbelief, while others reminded the public not to jump to conclusions based on appearances or staged photos.

Here’s how social media reacted:

  • “Nigerians sef. You people really thought Eva dated Asake? Because of a photoshoot?”

  • “Nigerian men are too funny, you people really thought they dated fr 😂”

  • “Why are you denying it, and you two even wore matching outfits?”

  • “When a man and woman are seen together, it doesn’t mean romance. Sometimes it’s just vibes and friendship.”

  • “Everybody denying my baby. Why?”

  • “Why do y’all always assume a guy is dating any woman he’s seen with?”

This is not the first time Eva has had to clear the air over celebrity-related rumours. Earlier this year, she also shut down speculations about an alleged affair with Afrobeats megastar Davido, following their trip abroad.

As the dust begins to settle, one thing is clear — Eva Apio isn’t here for assumptions, and she’s not shy about setting the record straight.
