Abiodun Ayoyinka, the veteran actor behind the iconic character Papa Ajasco, has announced a rebranding of his public identity, adopting the stage name Bondu Alaska.
The move follows a public dispute with Wale Adenuga Productions over the use of the Papa Ajasco brand.
In a video announcement on Instagram, Ayoyinka expressed gratitude for the support he received following his recent viral interview and promised to make a fresh start as Bondu Alaska.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, good morning Nigerians. My name is Bondu Alaska. The one and only Bondu Alaska. I want to use this medium to thank Nigerians because they have done a lot for me in my life. I’m a new person now, and I promise that I will not let you down”, he said.
He has since then changed his Instagram handle to @bondualaska_ and is encouraging fans and brands to connect with him under his new persona.
The rebranding appears to be a strategic response to legal constraints related to his Papa Ajasco role.
According to Wale Adenuga, Ayoyinka's claims of being broke are "misleading" and "untrue", citing benefits like multiple vehicles.
Adenuga stressed the need to protect the Papa Ajasco brand, but clarified that actors can take on external jobs.
