British model Eva Apio has stirred up social media after strongly denying rumors of a romantic relationship with Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Asake.
The drama began on Sunday, May 16, 2025, when an X user posted a picture of Apio and Asake in Paris, both wearing matching outfits.
Captioned with the words, “Asake and his girlfriend, Eva Apio,” the post quickly went viral, triggering a flurry of reactions from fans who believed they were an item.
Supporters of the rumored couple flooded the post with comments, many expressing admiration for the pair, while others speculated about their relationship status.
For some, the picture was all the confirmation they needed, and in a matter of hours, the online conversation had transformed into full-blown speculation.
However, amid the frenzy, Apio did not stay silent for long.
Reacting swiftly to the post, Eva Apio shut down the rumors with a clear and direct message: “I was never his girlfriend.”
Her response, though brief, sent shockwaves across social media. Fans were left divided—some were stunned by the revelation, while others criticized the tendency to jump to conclusions based on a single image.
The response itself became a trending topic, drawing even more attention to the situation.
As discussions continued, some social media users argued that appearances can be deceiving and warned against making assumptions based on photographs alone.
Others defended their initial excitement, suggesting that the chemistry between Apio and Asake in the picture was undeniable.
For Apio, however, her statement was meant to set the record straight, but it only seemed to deepen the intrigue around her connection with the Afrobeats star.
