The star-studded ceremony, held on Saturday, May 2, 2026, attracted prominent guests, including Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, filmmaker Kunle Afolayan, actor Femi Adebayo, and comedian Seyi Law.

Despite the celebratory atmosphere, a viral clip showing Francis Osinloye with a noticeably calm and solemn expression became a major talking point online.

The footage sparked mixed reactions, with some observers questioning his demeanour during the colourful ceremony.

As conversations intensified, unverified claims initially suggested that the groom had recently lost his mother, prompting sympathy from some quarters.

However, further details later indicated that the loss occurred on December 25, 2024.

Sources also revealed that Francis Osinloye, described as a prince and based in the United Kingdom, had already been legally married to Mide Sobowale since 2024, following a civil ceremony abroad.

The reaction has continued to generate debate, with opinions divided between criticism and empathy.

While some commentators described his composure as unusual for a wedding setting, others pointed to grief and personal circumstances as possible factors.

Beyond the groom’s demeanour, secondary moments from the event also attracted attention.

A clip showing Sola Sobowale appearing to overlook her former spouse during a dance segment stirred further discussion among viewers.
