Abiodun Ayoyinka, the veteran actor behind the iconic character Papa Ajasco, is now bearing a new stage name called Bondu Alaska.

The move follows a public dispute with Wale Adenuga Productions over the use of the Papa Ajasco brand.

In a video announcing the rebranding 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.
