Popular Instagram skit maker and social influencer, Amarachi Amusi popularly known as Ashmusy has again dismissed claims of a romance with former Kogi West lawmaker, Senator Dino Melaye.

The rumours of an affair with Melaye first surfaced last year when a faceless blogger alleged that the politician had a threesome with Ashmusy and Nons Miraj, another content creator.

Melaye, however, denied the claim and threatened to sue the blog.

Ashmusy also denied the rumours, describing how “hurtful and frustrating” it is when her hard work is overshadowed and credited to a man.

In a recent interview on #WithChude, Ashmusy maintained that she and Melaye are merely friends and that any allegations of a romance are baseless.

The skit maker also said it was painful that people believed the rumours. She also stressed that she “can’t relate to dating a politician or doing runs.”

“If me and Dino were friends, it would have made sense. It was too painful; a lot of people believed it,” she said.

“That period, when people see me, they go ‘Dino baby.’ I totally can’t relate to dating a politician or doing runs.”

The 29-year-old skit maker became an internet sensation after sharing a viral video on social media.

Apart from making skits, she is an actress, brand influencer, and social media content creator
