Celebrity beefs in the movie industry would continue to amaze Nollywood watchers. There are rifts that have been carried into the New Year, 2012 and the belief is that the celebs are finding it difficult to humble themselves by mending the cracks.VW takes a look at some top celebrities unresolved beefs of 2011.
Rita Dominic And Ini Edo
What almost looked like a small thing degenerated to a big issue between these two actresses? One can rightly say the last straw of the beef between them came to public notice during the online voting process of winning award in a category both were in.
The award winner was promised a London trip later this year. It became a battle of who would go to ‘Obodo Oyinbo’ - London, between the two sexy Nollywood queens.
They both started monitoring each other, before Rita came out to point to an irregularity from the camp of her competitor, Ini Edo. The rest is history, as we learnt both have still not cleared the debris heaped there during that time.
Tonto Dikeh And Mercy Johnson
These two, Tonto Dikeh and Mercy Johnson, seem not to have a slight chance to settle the rift between them soonest. Theirs is almost getting to a legendary status, after Omotola and Genevieve. In an interview with NigeriaFilms.Com recently, Tonto almost flared up when the name, Mercy Johnson, was called on. She even threatened to stop the interview if the name was ever mentioned to her. That shows the level of the beef between then. The genesis of this unconfirmed gist has it that the usual rift between female actors in Nollywood over supremacy was the cause. The quarrel between them did not go in 2011, will it go in 2012 I guess that would be the biggest story of the New Year.
Iyabo Ojo And Lizzy Anjorin
Iyabo Ojo and Lizzy Anjorin, both of whom plying their trades in the Yoruba movie industry are still tied up in a bitter fight. Theirs was reported to have taken a spiritual angle in fighting each other. For both fair skinned and beautiful actresses, competition and seniority claims have been responsible for their fights. After trying public physical and verbal assaults on each other, they took the fight to the next level by trying on themselves what they act in films, consulting ‘Baba’. For now, the two actresses are still like magnetic North and South poles that will always repel each other.
Stephanie Okereke And Genevieve Nnaji
The fight between these two top notch Nigerian make-believe queens rose late last year. Before then, they have been in good working relationship and pals. The free path was a bit blocked over some Presidency issues. Many believe that a cornering of access to the Presidency by Genevieve infuriated Stephanie. The accusation as alleged has been that Stephanie wanted Genevieve to gain access to the Presidency through her alone. Though they have tried to play as if nothing is wrong between them to the media, but close sources say that there is a gall in their meats.
Segun Arinze And Emeka Ike
The misunderstanding between Segun the AGN president and Emeka was made known and blown up because of Actors’ Guild of Nigeria, AGN, presidency crisis between the two of them. After Emeka lost out to Segun at the election, they both fell out and became enemies. As at now, telling Emeka to eat on the same table with Segun is like using boiling ring to warm Bar Beach. Theirs, which was almost cooling off, started again at the last quarter of 2011, and the hole in the wall remained un-patched getting into the New Year.
