Nollywood stars Laide Bakare and Eniola Badmus turned heads at the premiere of Owambe Thieves after a heated exchange between the actresses nearly escalated into a physical altercation.
The much-anticipated movie premiere, hosted by their colleague Eniola Ajao, took an unexpected turn when Laide confronted Eniola as she arrived at the event. In a viral clip, Laide was seen hurling words at Eniola, who chose to ignore her and walked away, sparking mixed reactions from fans and attendees.
One observer commented, “Eniola’s maturity stood out,” while another remarked, “It seems drama is always a staple at Eniola Ajao’s premieres.”
Their fallout dates back to 2023, when Eniola publicly mocked Laide’s outfit at her book launch, comparing it to a pastor’s attire. Laide retaliated, accusing Eniola of failing to celebrate her successes but magnifying her flaws. The feud reignited recently after an encounter in Abuja, where Laide referred to Eniola as her “once-upon-a-time friend.”
On Instagram, Laide accused Eniola of being ungrateful, citing how she supported her early career despite societal rejection due to her looks and size. In response, Eniola reportedly called Laide’s behavior “animalistic” and reminded her of past disputes, including Laide’s alleged comments about her personal life and political choices.
Fans remain divided, with some lauding Eniola’s calm demeanor during the altercation and others criticizing both actresses for their public display of discord.
