Nollywood actress, Wumi Toriola, has shed more light on the cause of her dispute with her senior colleague, Toyin Abraham.
In an interview with BBC Yoruba, the actress said their dispute stemmed from the fact that she is friends with Seyi Edun, the new lover of Adeniyi Johnson, who is Toyin’s ex.
When asked whether her friendship with Seyi has anything to do with their current dispute, she said: “Seyi is my friend and I can’t lie about that.
"At the height of the controversy surrounding the split between Toyin Abraham and Adeniyi Johnson, Seyi called me that she was tired of all the drama and she was ready to leave Adeniyi.
"I then called Toyin to inform her about Seyi’s decision to leave Adeniyi. I also asked Toyin whether she was still interested in reconciling with Adeniyi, so that Seyi could move on.
"However, Toyin reign curses on me. As a Yoruba girl, I let the issue slide without informing anyone, but I feel it’s high time I addressed the issue.
"No one can tell me who to be friends with because I’m into acting or because she is my boss. I follow my heart. .
"When she also later became friends with the same people she once warned me against getting close to in the industry, I didn’t complain.”
