好色少妇

The entertainment industry is never short of drama鈥� both on and off screen. One trait that is common with many celebrities is the plus-size ego they usually carry around. Once that ego is stepped on by another person, it escalates into a feud. With just about two months left to the end of 2019, there have already been several conflicts between entertainers. In no particular order, OLAJIDE SAMUEL takes a look at some of the celebrity feuds that made the news

Liz Anjorin and Toyin Abraham

The rift between Liz Anjorin and Toyin Abraham was indisputably one of the most talked about celebrity feuds of 2019.

Like a scene from a movie, Anjorin took to her Instagram page to accuse Abraham of filing a report against her to Saudi authorities that she (Anjorin) was trafficking cocaine, which led to her being searched at the airport. Anjorin also claimed that Abraham often opened fake social media pages to criticise her colleagues online.

Reacting through her lawyers, Abraham warned Liz to retract her posts and apologise to her or risk being sued. Responding, Anjorin鈥檚 lawyers also threatened to counter-sue Abraham.

Anjorin maintained that Toyin had her new baby at a traditional birth attendant鈥檚 place, while Abraham released a video showing her in a Lekki-Lagos hospital, in what seemed to be shortly after she was delivered of her son.

Though both actresses have not publicly apologised to each other, it seemed they listened to the advice of the President of the Theatre Arts and Movie Practitioners Association of Nigeria, Bolaji Amusan, aka Mr Latin, who cautioned them to stop the 鈥榳arfare鈥� on social media.

Speaking in a video broadcast shared on Instagram, Mr Latin had said, 鈥淔rom today, any of you (Toyin or Liz) that posts anything on Instagram, whether positive or negative, the industry will penalise such person. Enough is enough; it鈥檚 getting out of hand. Liz Anjorin and Toyin Abraham, this is the last warning鈥� if you post anything, you won鈥檛 like what will happen.鈥�

Eniola Badmus and Uche Ogbodo

Nigerians will not forget in a hurry the drama that played out when in May, actress, Uche Ogbodo, shared series of sensual pictures to celebrate her birthday. Actress and comedian, Eniola Badmus, condemned Ogbodo, saying that despite the provocative nature of the pictures, they didn鈥檛 get her the attention she craved. This was weeks after Ogbodo had publicly body-shamed Badmus.

Eniola wrote on her Instagram, 鈥淯che Ogbodo颅鈥� joker, you were pulling me down on Instablog like you were the greatest. Women supporting women is not in your dictionary鈥�.

Halima Abubakar and Cossy Ojiakor

Once upon a time, Cossy Ojiakor and Halima Abubakar used to be best friends. However, the beat of their once chummy relationship changed and Cossy later revealed that Abubakar betrayed her.

Some months ago, Uche Ogbodo shared a picture of herself, Uche Elendu and Halima Abubakar on her Instagram page. Cossy then commented on the picture, referring to Abubakar as a snake.  She claimed that it was Abubakar鈥檚 then boyfriend that wrote a story that she (Cossy) slept with a dog for money.

In a recent chat with our correspondent, Cossy said, 鈥淲hen one doesn鈥檛 like certain people, one lets them know and set oneself free. It鈥檚 not about getting an apology, it鈥檚 about my history. It鈥檚 so unfortunate that I allowed her (Abubakar) into my life.鈥�

Meanwhile, Abubakar has kept mum about the allegations Cossy levelled against her.

Tiwa Savage and Charles Anazodo

Earlier this month, talented songstress, Tiwa Savage, and football analyst, Charles Anazodo, engaged in a feud on Twitter. It all started when Anazodo accused the singer of walking past him without saying 鈥榟i鈥� when they met at a radio station.

However, the 鈥楲ova Lova鈥� singer didn鈥檛 waste time in replying Anazodo. She wrote, 鈥淔irstly, I鈥檓 sure you saw me rushing to the studio because I was late for my interview, plus I had a hat on. Secondly, I鈥檓 glad I didn鈥檛 say hi because who are you to think you can鈥檛 say hi first鈥�.

The verbal exchange continued as Charles responded to the tweet, writing, 鈥淚鈥檓 nobody鈥� just another human being. Cheers鈥�.

The fallout generated a lot of reactions from Nigerians on social media.

MI and Vector

The duo of MI and Vector are talented rappers that are often compared to one another. Though the rappers鈥� lyrical dexterity has never been in doubt, they have never featured on each other鈥檚 songs.

On August 30, 2018, Vector had reacted to MI鈥檚 song titled, 鈥榊ou Rappers Should Fix up Your Lives.鈥�  During a radio interview, Vector maintained that MI was wrong to have condemned Nigerian rappers in the song.

Fast forward to 2019, MI and his team threw a jab at Vector on a song, 鈥楳artell Cypher鈥�. This led to Vector and his crew 鈥榙issing鈥� MI on the track, 鈥楾he Purge鈥�. Thereafter, MI directly fired 鈥榮hots鈥� at Vector in the 鈥榙iss鈥� track dedicated to him and titled, 鈥楾he Viper鈥�.

In the song, MI branded Vector a snake, stating that Vector had allowed bitterness to consume him. Unrelenting, Vector fired back at MI in the song, 鈥楯udas the Rat鈥�, where he claimed MI was responsible for the failure of Jesse Jagz鈥檚 music career.

He sang, 鈥淛esse Jagz, you鈥檙e my buddy. I couldn鈥檛 do this in a hurry but the truth about your brother has been blurry. So, sometime in this sermon, I will say some uncomfortable facts to show his fans their GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) is really a rat. Let鈥檚 start the lecture鈥︹��

Though some concerned persons have tried to mediate between the two rappers, it doesn鈥檛 seem like they are ready to sheathe their musical sword anytime soon.
