Popular actress and filmmaker Toyin Abraham Ajeyemi addressed the controversy sparked by a recent social media post that some fans interpreted as a veiled comment about her colleagues Funke Akindele and Mercy Aigbe.
The post, in which Toyin thanked her fans for the overwhelming support for her movie Alakada: Bad and Boujee, quickly gained attention, with speculations about an underlying rivalry.
Reacting to the buzz, Toyin denied any intent to shade her colleagues, stating that her message was purely a heartfelt appreciation for her supporters.
The incident highlights the intense scrutiny surrounding Nollywood stars and how their interactions are often interpreted by fans and the public.
In her post, she wrote, “Without expecting a gift or inducement at the box office to buy our tickets, you’ve stood by us, and we are deeply grateful.”
Clarifying the intent of her message, Toyin explained that it was directed at expressing gratitude to her fans who watched the movie without demanding giveaways or incentives.
She disclosed that some fans had refused to see the film, citing reports of other actors hosting meet-and-greet events with additional perks to attract viewers.
Toyin stressed that her words were not meant to shade anyone but to genuinely thank her supporters for their unwavering love.
She noted that the success of the movie is a reflection of the audience’s loyalty and appreciation.
