Popular British model Eva Apio has got social media talking after fervently denying claims that she dated Nigerian Afrobeats singer Asake.
It all started on Sunday, May 16, 2025, when an X user posted a photo of the couple showing off their identical attire when they were in Paris. “Asake and his girlfriend, Eva Apio,” he captioned the photo.
The post went viral, garnering reactions from social media users, with many showing their support of the union.
However, Apio swiftly replied to the viral post and shut the dating rumours down, stating firmly, “I was never his girlfriend.”
Her response, though short, set social media ablaze and left many in disbelief and it soon went viral as well and had people divided over the nature of her relationship with Asake. While many were surprised, others criticised the tendency to jump to conclusions based on public appearances.

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

“What is going on here, why you dey deny am and you guys wore the same clothes”
“Why is this simple tweet causing such an uproar.”
“When you people see a man and a woman together, just because they’re young & free. You will assume they’re into a ROMANTIC relationship. Some might just be friends, helping themselves. Not every relationship has to be CONSUMMATED.”
“Everybody denying my baby why”
“Why are people always assuming that he’s in a relationship with any lady he’s with?”
“Why would you all even assume because a lady is seen with a guy, then they’re dating!”
