Once again, a movie premiere organised by Nollywood actress Eniola Ajao has ended in drama.
This time, it was a loud argument between actresses Laide Bakare and Eniola Badmus at the premiere of Ajao’s new movie “Owambe Thieves” on Sunday at Circle Mall in Lekki, Lagos. A video of the incident appeared online on Monday and quickly went viral.
In the video, both actresses were seen shouting at each other. At one point, Laide Bakare asked Eniola Badmus if she was mentally okay. Eniola did not reply but gave her a strong look and walked away.
A man believed to be the bodyguard of Eniola Badmus tried to stop the fight, but Laide stood her ground and continued talking angrily.
Later that day, Laide posted a screenshot of her private chat with Eniola on Instagram. In the chat, Eniola complained about a photo Laide posted, calling it “animalistic behaviour.”
Laide then reminded Eniola that she helped her in the past, giving her a chance in Nollywood when others rejected her because of her size. She even called Eniola an “ingrate.”
Many people online have been reacting to the fight. Some are saying Eniola Ajao’s movie premieres always come with problems. They remember how last year, social media personality Bobrisky bagged some trouble after attending one of her movie events.
It seems Eniola Ajao’s movie events are gaining more attention for the drama than the films themselves.
