In the entertainment industry forget the bright smile, sparkling white teeth and harmless embrace all is not well among the celebrities.
Genevieve and Omotola
Their rivalry is legendary as Nollywood itself. The cause of the rivalry no one can tell but what is obvious to industry insiders is the two leading stars in Nollywood are not best of friend, as a matter of fact, they view each other with suspicion. Some people said Omosexy caused the rivalry as she did not in anyway encourage Genny when she was starting out. Others said Genny did not accord Omotola the respect she deserves as someone she met in the industry. The two dislike each other so much that they barely scuttled the set of the hugely popular movie, Ije. Time and maturity have however toned down the intensity of the hostility however fans of the two are still gunning for one another jugular anytime the time present the opportunity.
DAVIDO & WIZKID
The attle of supremacy started between Nigeria’s most loved male celebrities in Nigeria, These two who once enjoyed a smooth friendship before the rivalry started, recently went on Twitter to exchange some pretty hard words.
Davido AKA OBO who is proving that he is here to stay is clinching all the major awards and endorsement both within and outside the country said the talented Star Boy boss Ayo Balogun AKA Wizkid threw shades at him via his Twitter handle concerning his concert abroard. Davido who was recently interviewed by Sahara Reporters said he has nothing against Wizkid, that he is a big fan of him but Wizkid should stop throwing shades. Wizkid on the other hand didn’t take it cool as he took to his twitter handle to subtly call Davido dumb. He accused Davido of misinterpreting his Tweet and being sensitive-‘catching feelings’
We doubt if these two Yoruba guys will ever the able to get back to the smooth relationship they enjoyed five years ago before the rivalry started, definitely not soon.
Basket mouth and Julius Agwu
The two leading comedians have made up but many in the know say the peace is a cosmetic one as they still view each other suspiciously. The cause of their ‘fight’ is the petty rivalry but it developed into major ‘beef’ by back-hitting and pettiness of one of them. The two avoided each other for many years until they were reconciled last year. Julius said in an interview sometimes ago that some people in the industry don’t want two of them together because of peculiar gains. He told this writer that they had since made up and industry might see them doing a lot more together.
Funke Akindele and Odunlade Adekola
Popular acts, OdunAdekola and Funke Akindele are not friends; they both don’t pretend about it. The cause of the fight was the appointment of Odun as Globacom ambassador. It was said that Funke laboured vigorously that Odun should not be appointed, she was said to have prefered Funsho Adeolu. She allegedly told those who have ears to listen that Odun was not educated and won’t be able to communicate in English. Odun heard and he hasn’t forgotten till today. Funke denied saying so but those who told Odun swore to high heaven that she did. Odun’s contract with Glo was not renewed while Funke is still an ambassador with the telecommunication company.
Olamide and Linda Ikeji
Popular Yoruba rapper, Olamide doesn’t like Linda for one bit. The blunt rapper took to his Social media account to blast the blogger for posting a story that his girlfriend was pregnant. He used so many unprintable names while abusing the blogger. So much was his vituperation that many asked if there isn’t more than meet the eye. We can confirm that there is. Olamide and a former manager of his has been nursing grudge against the blogger for not lending any form of support to the singer on her popular blog. He was said to have deliberately informed a close person to the blogger that his girlfriend was pregnant so Linda can be misled. She bought the gist hook, Lin and stinker. Hardly has she posted that Olanide came to Twitter to a last her. Both aren’t on talking terms now.
Monalisa Chindah and Rita Dominic
Not many people knew that Rita Dominic, Monalisa and Genevieve used live together. That was when the three developed strong friendship that was nurtured for several years. But the once bosom friends are no longer chubby. Things have gotten so bad that Rita and Monalisa don’t see eyes to eyes. Genevieve has made up with Monalisa after a long spell of hostility. The cause of the fight, the three friends are not saying. But source said it started when Monalisa got married, she was alleged to have spread unprintable tales about her once bosom friends and made mockery of their single status. No one can prove she said anything but it was well circulated in the industry. After Lisa ill-fated marriage she made up with Genevieve but Rita was not committed to a reunion, apparently still hurting from whatever might have caused the separation.
TONTO vs INI EDO
Tonto Dike AKA Pokolee is one of the few names that needs no introduction in the Entertainment industry she is known for her controversial rant and ever ready to attack nature. No doubt she is both talented and beautiful. She got in a near battle with another screen goddess and one of Nollywood’s Top executives Ini Edo.
No one could say what the cause of the fight is but Tonto went for Ini jugular calling her out on Twitter saying Ini is an old cargo when they were both nominated for the Future Awards.
Even though Tonto went on to win the award, sexy Ini who is a bigger celeb than she is, did not give her the pleasure of replying her tweets or adding her to the ever growing long list of celebs she has fought with on Twitter.
Obesere and K1
Their animosity is legendary. K1 feels Obsesere, a fellow Fuji singer has been disrespectful and always too quick to throw a jibe at him. They have both sang several hate songs against each other but it is clear that K1 is the person having upper hand. When K1 sang ‘Eyin mama e sempe’ (elderly women should slow down), Obesere responded with a song saying he was being disrespectful toward the women. The two have mellow down but the animosity most definitely still remains.
IYANYA vs YVONNE NELSON
The hit song by Iyanya ‘ALL I WANT IS YOUR WAIST” was not only inspired by his love affair with the beautiful Ghanaian actress cum producer Yvonne Nelson, but it also sparked a lot of hot details about their affair that ended after she caught him cheating and he left her bikini ass for a controversial popular Nigerian actress and denied being in any kind of romantic affair with her until she released pictures to prove otherwise, she told everyone who was ready to listen how much she loved him and how he broke her heart. He on the other hand just wanted her waist. (They obviously wanted two different things)
Since everything cooled off with the break up scandal she has moved on and has been linked with different guys, from Ice Prince, to John Dumelo (who is her supposed best friend) to Alex Ekubo. Iyanya is also in a very private relationship with a beautiful make-up artiste and musician from the eastern part of Nigeria. Iyanya who recently made a move towards peace challenged her to the Ice bucket water challenge which she refused. Just maybe she is not ready to be his friend yet or in wizkid voice “she still dey catch feelings”.
Nse Ikpe Etim & Emem Isong
They were inc bosom friends and business partners but the love they once shared has turned into fierce dislike. Emem who featured Nse in her movie, Reloaded (the production that relaunchedNse’s career) is angry that Nse has been allegedly going about behind her spreading negative tales and talking down on her works. It was even said she allegedly ‘sponsored’ people on social media to tarnish Emem’s image for no just cause. Emem sent Nse an angry mail, she responded angrily and till date they are enemies. Nse denied ever saying the things they said she said. People from her camp insist Emem is only trying to take credit for her rise and behave like she own her,an allegation Emem’s people find laughable. So we might not see Nse in Emem’s movie for a long time to come.
Mercy Johnson & Tonto Dike
The animosity between the two started far back in the East on several movie locations. Tonto had sided with the established stars at war with Mercy then.Tonto, being daring and young was always quick to call out Mercy Johnson negatively. But sometimes this year she got it wrong when she called out Mercy that she returned to location too early, six months after giving birth. She alluded that Mercy’s husband must be incapable of taking care of her. Mercy did not say a word but her fans went for Tonto’s jugular and not a few people feel Tonto went too far. Tonto who did not apologise did not deny she was making reference to Mercy. Both of them don’t talk to each other.
Seun Kuti & Flavour
Afrobeat singer and son of the renowned Afro beat King Fela Anikulapo Kuti, Seun Kuti recently took to Twitter to take a subtle swipe at Nigerian recording artist Flavour over his win as the ‘2014 best live act’ at the MTV Africa Music Award. Seun who claims he has done 66 live shows this year alone insinuated that Flavour does not deserve to win such an award. Although Flavour did not reply but a source revealed that they are not best of friends.
