Journalist Kemi Ashefon reports that they all know Ashley is a no-go area and the Ooni doesn’t tolerate any form of disrespect towards his beautiful Ashley.
Well, Ashley was unveiled as the latest queen during the 47th birthday of the Ooni in October 2021. Even Oloori Naomi acknowledged the presence of some queens in the palace while giving her vote of thanks at the surprise party organised for the king.
She referred to Ashley as the Princess of the Source and prayed for more queens in the palace.
Not a few followers of the Ooni on social were surprised when Oloori Ashley referred to the monarch as ‘my crown” in her birthday shout-out.
