Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham Ajeyemi is celebrating a momentous achievement as her latest movie, Malaika, reaches a significant milestone, grossing ₦300 million at the box office since its release.
This remarkable feat not only marks Malaika as Toyin’s highest-grossing film to date but also places it among the top 10 highest-grossing Nigerian films of all time.
Taking to her Instagram page to share the exciting news, Toyin expresses heartfelt gratitude to God and her supporters for contributing to the success of Malaika. The actress emphasizes that the movie is still showing in cinemas nationwide, inviting more viewers to experience the captivating story on the big screen.
The announcement comes on the heels of Toyin’s proactive stance against piracy, where she recently took action against individuals attempting to illegally distribute her movie. Toyin’s efforts to combat piracy demonstrate her commitment to protecting the integrity of her work and safeguarding the interests of fellow filmmakers in the industry.
However, amidst the triumphs, Toyin also faces challenges in her personal and professional relationships. The actress made headlines for blocking an influencer who compared her success to that of Funke Akindele, underscoring her zero-tolerance policy for unwarranted comparisons and negativity.
Additionally, rumours of a rift between Toyin and her protege, Abike Shuga, have surfaced, with speculation that Abike’s support for Funke Akindele may have contributed to their falling out.
