Nollywood actresses Laide Bakare and Eniola Badmus are currently in the spotlight, not for a movie role, but for a public feud that began on social media and escalated into a confrontation at the premiere of “Owambe Thieves“. The clash between Laide Bakare and Eniola Badmus has captivated fans.
The drama started after Laide Bakare shared an old photo of herself and Eniola Badmus on her social media page. According to reports, Eniola felt the photo was unflattering and called Laide out privately, criticizing her looks and allegedly referring to her with “animalistic features.” Laide didn’t take this lightly and responded publicly to the clash with Eniola Badmus.

“@eniola_badmus I gave you your first major role when no one wanted to associate with you because of your ugly looks and obesity. I spent my hard-earned money on an ingrate like you. All you could pay me back with is to call me an animal? Haaa! Eniola! Almighty God will judge you insha Allah. You’ve started what you can’t finish, and I promise you, you must collect.”
The tension came to a head at the “Owambe Thieves” premiere, where witnesses say the two exchanged heated words, causing a scene before security intervened due to the clash between Laide Bakare and Eniola Badmus.
